    Solution

    Since, ‘A’ and ‘B’ invested their sums for equal period, therefore, ratio of the profit received by ‘A’ and ‘B’ will be equal to the ratio of sum invested by them i.e. 3:2, respectively Let the total profit received by them be Rs. 100x Therefore, profit distributed between ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 0.80 × 100x = Rs. 80x Profit received by ‘A’ = 80x × (3/5) = Rs. 48x According to the question, 48x = 1824 Or, x = 38 Therefore, total profit received by ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 100x = Rs. 3800
