    Question

    The contributions made by Amit and Bupi are in the ratio of 5:3. If 20% of total profit is donated and Amit gets 5000 as his share of profit, what is the total profit?

    A Rs. 10000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 15000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 20500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 15500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total profit = x
    The ratio of contribution by Amit and Bhupi = 5:3
    Sum of ratios = 8
    Share of Amit = (5/8) × x = 5000
    x= (5000 × 8)/5
    Total profit: x= 8000
    Amit gets 5000 after 20% donated
    Now, 80% = 8000
    1% = 8000/ 80
    And, 100% = (8000/80) × 100 = 10000
