    Question

    'A' and 'B' started a business, investing Rs. 7,200 and

    Rs. 4,800, respectively, for the same duration. 'A', being a working partner, received Rs. 4,800 for managing the business, and the remaining profit was shared in proportion to their investments. If 'B' received Rs. 480, determine the total profit.
    A Rs. 4500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 8000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 6000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 5400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 7200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of profits received by ‘A” and ‘B’ = 7200:4800 = 3:2

    Let the total profit received by them be Rs. x

    According to the question,

    (x – 4800) × (2/5) = 480

    Or, x – 4800 = 1200

    Or, x = 6000

    Therefore, total profit received by them = Rs. 6000
