    • 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
