2 farmers bought a tractor for field work. If farmer A invested 5 times the farmer B’s investment. Find the profit of farmer B when total profit was Rs. 60000. Correct Answer Rs. 10000

Given data-

Farmer A invested 5 times than the farmer B.

Let the investment of farmer B be x.

∴ Farmer A invested 5x money.

Also profit of farmer A & B will be proportional to the investments.

In case of farmer B-

He invested x part of money out of 6x parts.

∴ Profit of B = x/6x × 60000 = 10000

∴ Profit of B will be Rs. 10000
