• A. ₹26,500
• B. ₹28,000
• C. ₹38,500
• D. ₹36,000

Answer 1

Answer:

B. ₹28,000

• Total profit = ₹64,000

• A receives an extra 10% of the profit as a working partner:

• 10%\text{ of }64000=6400

• Remaining profit:

• 64000 - 6400 = 57600

• The remaining profit is divided in the ratio (3:5).

• A’s share from this:

• $\frac{3}{3+5}\times57600=21600$

• Therefore, A’s total share:

• 21600 + 6400 = 28000

• So, A’s total share is ₹28,000.
