Question

    ‘A’ and ‘B’ invested Rs. 4800 and Rs. 3200, respectively in a business, together. After 6 months, ‘A’ withdrew 25% of his initial investment. If the total profit received by them after 1 year and 2 months is Rs.5024, then find the profit received by ‘A’.

    A Rs.2826 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.2255 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.3204 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.3445 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs.4164 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of the profits received by ‘A’ to ‘B’ => {(4800 × 6) + (3600 × 8)}:(3200 × 14) = 9:7 Therefore, profit received by ‘A’ = 5024 × (9/16) = Rs.2826
