Question

A. B and C invest in a business in the ratio 4 : 5 : 7. C is a sleeping partner, so his share of profit will be half of what it would have been if he were a working partner. If they make Rs. 36,000 as an annual profit of which 25% is reinvested in the business, how much does B get (in Rs.)?

Options

• 7560

• 10800

• 8640

• 9200

Answer 1

10800

Explanation:

A  :  B  :  C

4  :  5  :  `7/2`

⇒ 8  :  10  :  7

⇒ : 25 → `36000 xx 3/4`

⇒ : 10 → `(36000 xx 3)/(25 xx 4) xx 10`

= 10800
