After one year, A took Rs. 8400 from the total profit for starting the business and the rest profit is distributed according to their ratio. If the difference between the shares of A and B is Rs. 9600, then find the total profit. Correct Answer Rs. 36000
The ratio between the profit shares of A, B, C and D
: : :
84000 : 72000 : 60000 : 60000
7 : 6 : 5 : 5
Let the profit shares of A, B, C and D be 7x, 6x, 5x and 5x respectively.
According to the question:
7x + 8400 – 6x = 9600
x = 1200
The total profit = = Rs. 36000
