    A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3:4. After 10 months B leaves the business after withdrawing his investment. In the first year the business made a profit of Rs. 38000. What is B’s share (in Rs) of this profit?

    A Rs. 24000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the investments made by A and B be 3x and 4x. Ratio of their profits = (3x×12) + (4x×10) => 36x : 40x = 9:10 Therefore B’s share = (10/19)×38000 = Rs. 20000
