M and N invest ₹80,000 and ₹1,20,000. After a year, the total profit, including 10% interest, is ₹33,000. What is N’s share?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

M's investment = ₹80,000

N's investment = ₹1,20,000

Investment ratio = 80,000 : 1,20,000 = 2 : 3

Total profit = ₹33,000

Profit-sharing ratio = 2 : 3

Total parts = 5

N's share = (3/5) × 33,000 = ₹19,800
