Question

A and B invest ₹40,000 and ₹60,000 respectively in a business. What is A's share in a profit of ₹50,000?

• A. ₹15,000
• B. ₹20,000
• C. ₹25,000
• D. ₹30,000

Answer 1

Answer:

B. ₹20,000

Investments are in the ratio:

40000:60000 = 2:3

Total ratio parts:

2+3=5

A’s share:

$\frac{2}{5}\times 50000=20000$

So, A’s share in the profit is ₹20,000.
