Question
A and B start a business by investing Rs. 20000 and Rs. 30000 respectively for the same period. If the total profit earned at the end of the year is Rs. 12500, then what is B's share in the profit?
Solution
Since the investment period is the same, profit ratio = investment ratio A : B = 20000 : 30000 = 2 : 3 Total parts = 2 + 3 = 5 B's share = (3/5) x 12500 = 7500 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 7500.
