      After 3 months, O joined with Rs. 35000. At the end of the year, M’s share is Rs. 3500 more than N’s share. Find the total profit.
      A Rs.28525 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.37625 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.20125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.22125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Profit share ratio = (28000 × 12) : (22000 × 12) : (35000 × 9)
      = 336000 : 264000 : 315000
      = 112 : 88 : 105
      Simplify ratio = 16 : 12 : 15 Sum = 16 + 12 + 15 = 43
      Let total profit = 43x
      ATQ,
      16x – 12x = 3500
      4x = 3500
      x = 875 Total profit = 43 × 875 = Rs. 37625
