Question

    The contributions made by A and B are in the ratio of 2:3. If 20% of total profit is donated and A gets 5890 as his share of profit, what is the total profit?

    A Rs. 10000.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 30000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 18406.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 15500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total profit = x
    The ratio of contribution by A and B = 2:3
    Share of A = (2/5) × x = 5890
    x= (5890 × 5)/2
    Total profit: x = 14725
    A gets 5890 after 20% donated
    Now, 80% = 14725
    1% = 14725/ 80
    And, 100% = (14725/80) × 100 = 18406.25
