K, L, and M invest the sum in the ratio of 15 : 20 : 27 respectively. If they earned a total profit of Rs. 10230 at the end of the year, then what is the difference between shares of K and L?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rs. 825.
Ratio of investment = Ratio of profit
Let the profits of K, L, and M be 15x, 20x and 27x respectively.
Total profit earned = Rs. 10230
⇒ 15x + 20x + 27x = 10230
⇒ 62x = 10230
⇒ x = Rs. 165
Difference between the share of L and K = 20x - 15x = 20(165) - 15(165) = 825
