SSC CHSL - 24 Nov 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q53

A and B invested ₹10,000 and ₹15,000 respectively. If the business made a profit of ₹12,000, what is A’s share?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Given:

A's investment = 10,000

B's investment = 15,000

Total profit = 12,000

Formula:

Profit ratio = Investment ratio

A : B = 10,000 : 15,000 = 2 : 3

Total ratio = 2 + 3 = 5

A's share = (2 / 5) × 12,000 = 4800
