It was agreed that Avani would invest Rs. 7000 for 5 months, Ashlesha Rs. 6200 for 8 months and Anushree Rs. 10000 for 2 months. Avani wants to be the working member for which she is going to receive the 7% of the profit. The total profit earned by them is Rs. 45000. Find the share of Ashlesha? Correct Answer Rs. 19844.74

Avani is working partner, so she is going to receive 7% of 45000 = Rs. 3150

Remaining balance = (45000 – 3150) = Rs. 41850

Ratio of investment = (7000 × 5) ∶ (6200 × 8) ∶ (10000 × 2)

⇒ Ratio of their investment = 350 ∶ 496 ∶ 200 = 175 ∶ 248 ∶ 100

∴ Ashlesha’s share = (248/523) × 41850 = Rs. 19844.74
