Two individuals, A and B, started a business by
investing ₹7,200 and ₹11,700, respectively. After 20 months, A withdrew his entire investment. At the end of 2 years, the business earned a profit, out of which A's share was ₹16,000. What was B's share of the profit?Solution
Respective ratio of profit shares of 'A' and 'B' = (7200 X 20):(11700 X 24) = 144000:280800 = 20:39 So, profit share of 'B' = 16000 X (39/20) = Rs. 31,200
