A and B start a business. A invests 331333\frac{1}{3} % of the total capital and B invests the remaining. If the total profit at the end of a year is ₹1,62,000, then B's share (in Rs.) is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 108000

Let total capital be 300

Now, according to the question-

A invests = 300 × 131 \over 3 = 100

and B = 300-100 = 200

so, A : B = 100 : 200 = 1: 2

For total profit,

⇒3 unit = 162000

⇒ 1unit = 54000

so, B's share = 54000 × 2 = 108000

Hence B's share is Rs 1,08,000.
