Question

'Arman' and 'Malik' initiated a business venture with their individual investments. 'Arman,' who actively participated in the business, received Rs. 2,400 as a commission from the total profit. The remaining profit was divided in proportion to their respective investments. 'Arman' also received 75% of this remaining amount as his profit share. Additionally, 'Malik' received a profit share for his investment that was Rs. 4,000 less than 'Arman's profit share for his investment. Calculate the total profit generated by the business.

A Rs.10,450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Rs.10,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Rs.10,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Rs.10,652 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

We can say that, Let the total profit received from the business be Rs.(4a + 2400) Amount taken by 'Arman' for managing the business = Rs.2,400 So, remaining amount = 4a + 2400 - 2400 = Rs.'4a' Amount received by 'Arman' as his profit share (for his investment)  = (0.75 × 4a)  = Rs.'3a' Profit share received by 'Malik'  = 4a - 3a  = Rs.'a' ATQ; 3a - a = 4000 Or, 2a = 4000 Or, a = 2000 So, total profit earned by the business  = 4a + 2400  = 4 × 2000 + 2400  = Rs. 10,400

Question

'Anoop' and 'Soni' have investments in the ratio of 8:5, respectively.

Solution

ATQ, Let the sum invested by 'Anoop' and 'Soni' be Rs. '8a' and Rs. '5a', respectively Amount received by 'Anoop' = (8a × 0.15 × 16) + 8a = 19.2a + 8a = Rs. '27.2a' Amount received by 'Soni' = 5a × {1 + (40/100)}² = Rs. '9.8a' According to the question, 27.2a - 9.8a = 4350 Or, 17.4a = 4350 Or, (4350/17.4) = 250 Required difference = 8a - 5a = 3a = 3 × 250 = Rs. 750

A Rs.14,450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Rs.14,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Rs.14,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Rs.12,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

ATQ, Let amount invested by 'Armaan' and 'Malik' be Rs. '7a' and Rs. '3a', respectively So, amount invested by 'Chinky' = (5/2) × 3a = Rs. '7.5a' 7a + 3a + 7.5a = 1,05,000 Or, 17.5a = 1,05,000 a = 6,000 So, investment by 'Armaan' = 7a = 14 × 6,000 = Rs.42,000 Similarly, Investment by 'Malik' = Rs. 18,000 Investment by 'Chinky' = Rs. 45,000 Ratio of profit share of 'Armaan', 'Malik' and 'Chinky' at the end of the year = [(42,000 × 9) + (50,000 × 3)] : [18,000 × 12] : [(45,000 × 9) + (40,000 × 3)] = 176:72:175 So, profit share of 'Malik' = {72/(176 + 72 + 176)} × 84600 = Rs.14,400

E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

We can say that initial investment made by Adam is Rs.'a' Initial investment made by Zampa is Rs. (7000 – a) Ratio of profit share of Adam to Zampa = (a × 7 + 1.2a × 5):[(7000 – a) × 7 + 0.6 × (7000 – a) × 5]  = 13a:(70000 – 10a) According to question; [13a/(70000 – 10a)] = (1612/3100) = 13/25 325a = 910000 – 130a 455a = 910000 a = 2000 Initial investment made by Adam = Rs.2000

Question

'Aditi' and 'Misti' embarked on a business venture, initially investing sums denoted as 'm' and 'm + 3000', respectively. Four months later, 'Aditi' chose to amplify her investment by an additional Rs. 3,000, whereas 'Misti' opted to withdraw Rs. 2,000 from his initial capital. As the year concluded, 'Aditi' claimed her share of the profit, amounting to Rs. 42,000, out of a total profit pool of Rs. 83,000.
