They agreed that 'p' % of the total profit would be allocated to a child care foundation, and the remaining would be divided among them based on their investment ratios.

    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of the investments of ‘Anchal’, ‘Bhavana’ and ‘Chetna’ = 15000:12000:18000 = 5:4:6 Amount to be divided among them = Rs. {46875 × (100 - p)/100} ATQ, {46875 × (100 - p)/100} × (4/15) = 10000 Or, 100 – p = 10000 × 100 × (15/4) × (1/46875) Or, 100 – P = 80 Or, P = 20
