A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3:2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and A's share is Rs. 855, what is the total profit?
Answer:
Rs. 1500
Let total profit be P. Profit after charity = 0.95P. A's share = (3/5) * 0.95P = 0.57P. Given 0.57P = 855 => P = 855 / 0.57 = Rs. 1500.

X, Y, and Z invest in a partnership in the ratio 3:4:5. If Z's share of the profit is Rs. 2000, what is the total profit?
Answer:
Rs. 4800
Ratio = 3:4:5. Z's share is 5 parts. 5 parts = 2000, so 1 part = 400. Total profit = 12 parts = 12 * 400 = Rs. 4800.

P and Q started a business with investments in the ratio of 4:5. If the total profit is Rs. 3600, what is P's share?
Answer:
Rs. 1600
The profit is shared in the ratio of 4:5. Total parts = 9. P's share = (4/9) * 3600 = Rs. 1600.

Two partners invest Rs. 125,000 and Rs. 85,000 respectively in a business. If the total profit is Rs. 42,000, what is the share of the first partner?
Answer:
Rs. 25,000
Ratio of investments = 125000 : 85000 = 25 : 17. Total parts = 42. First partner's share = (25/42) * 42000 = Rs. 25,000.
4855
A, B, and C invest Rs. 1000, Rs. 2000, and Rs. 3000 respectively in a business. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs. 1200, what is B's share?
Answer:
Rs. 400
Ratio of investments = 1000 : 2000 : 3000 = 1 : 2 : 3. Total parts = 6. B's share = (2/6) * 1200 = Rs. 400.
4856
A and B started a business investing Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 30,000 respectively. What will be the ratio of their profits at the end of the year?
Answer:
2:3
When the time period of investment is the same, the profit is distributed in the ratio of their investments. Ratio = 20000 : 30000 = 2 : 3.
4857
P, Q, R invest in ratio 7:8:9. R gets Rs. 12000 more than P. Total profit?
Answer:
Rs. 144000
R - P = 9 - 7 = 2 parts. 2 parts = 12000 => 1 part = 6000. Total profit = 24 parts = 24 * 6000 = Rs. 144000.
4858
A and B invest Rs. 70000 and Rs. 80000. A withdraws Rs. 10000 after 6 months. B adds Rs. 10000 after 6 months. Profit ratio?
Answer:
13:17
A = (70*6) + (60*6) = 780. B = (80*6) + (90*6) = 1020. Ratio = 780 : 1020 = 78 : 102 = 13 : 17.
4859
A starts with Rs. 24000. B joins after 4 months with Rs. 36000. C joins after 6 months with Rs. 48000. Profit ratio?
Answer:
1:1:1
A=12, B=8, C=6. Ratio = (24*12) : (36*8) : (48*6) = 288 : 288 : 288 = 1 : 1 : 1.
4860
X invests Rs. 80000 for 12 months. Y invests Rs. 120000 for 8 months. Z invests Rs. 160000 for 6 months. Profit ratio?
Answer:
1:1:1
Ratio = (80*12) : (120*8) : (160*6) = 960 : 960 : 960 = 1 : 1 : 1.
