Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 16,400
A and B started a business investing amounts of Rs 92,500 and Rs 1,12,500.
The ratio of their invested money A : B = 92,500 : 1,12,500
⇒A : B = 37 : 45
The profit of B = 9000
The profit will also be in the same ratio.
⇒45 = 9000
⇒ 1 = 200
Their total profit = (37 + 45) × 200 = Rs. 16,400.
