    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. 10:13, respectively Let the total profit received by them be Rs. 100x Therefore, profit distributed between ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 0.92 × 100x = Rs. 92x Profit received by ‘A’ = 92x × (10/23) = Rs. 40x According to the question, 40x = 2400 Or, x = 60 Therefore, total profit received by ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 100x = Rs. 6000
