A, B, and C invest in a business. A invests Rs 20,000, B invests Rs 25,000, and C invests Rs 30,000. What is the total profit if the share of B is Rs 5,000?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given:
A's investment = ₹20,000
B's investment = ₹25,000
C's investment = ₹30,000
B's share = ₹5,000
B's share = ₹5,000
By formula:
Profit distribution = in the ratio of investment
A : B : C = 20,000 : 25,000 : 30,000 = 4 : 5 : 6
Total share = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15
B's share = 5
Total profit = (5,000 × 15) / 5 = ₹15,000
