A and B invest in a business in the ratio 4 : 5. After 10 months B leaves the business after withdrawing his investment. In the first year, the business made a profit of Rs 49,000. What is the share of B (in Rs) of this profit?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 25000
Let the investment made by A and B = 4x and 5x
Ratio of their profit = (4x × 12) : (5x × 10)
= 48x : 50x
= 24 : 25
Share of B = (25/49) × 49000
= 25000
