P and Q invest ₹45,000 and ₹80,000 respectively in a business. What is Q's share in a profit of ₹120,000?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. ₹76,800.

P : Q investment = 45000 : 80000

Divide by 5000

= 9 : 16

Total ratio = 9 + 16 = 25

Q’s share = (16 / 25) × 120000

= 16 × 4800

= 76800
