Pie chart (1) shows investments of lakh rupees by four partners in a certain business. Pic Chart (2) shows number of hours worked for the business by each partner. The business earned a profit of Rs. 24 lakh. Half of this profit is to be distributed between the 4 partners in proportion of investment and the rest in proportion of number of hours worked. How much will D get? (In lakh rupees) Correct Answer 4.44
Given:
Total profit is Rs. 24,00,000.
Half of the profit is distributed according to the investment.
Half of the profit is distributed according to the number of hours.
Calculation:
Half of the total profit = 1/2 × 24,00,000
⇒ Half of the total profit = 12,00,000
According to the question,
12,00,000 is distributed according to the first chart
In the first chart,
Total % = 15% + 25% + 40% + 20%
⇒ Total % = 100%
Out of which D gets 20%
From the total amount D will get,
⇒ 20/100 × 12,00,000
⇒ 1/5 × 12,00,000
⇒ 2,40,000
Now according to the question,
In the second chart,
Total % = 33% + 25% + 25% + 17%
⇒ Total % = 100%
Out of which D gets 17%
From the total amount D will get,
⇒ 17/100 × 12,00,000
⇒ 17 × 12,000
⇒ 2,04,000
Total profit earned by D,
⇒ 2,40,000 + 2,04,000
⇒ 4,44,000
⇒ 4.44 Lakh
∴ Total profit earned by D is Rs. 4.44 Lakh.
