A and B starts a business with investment of Rs. 28000 and Rs. 42000 respectively. A invests for 8 months and B invests for one year. If the total profit at the end of year is Rs. 21125, then what is the share of B? Correct Answer Rs. 14625
Given:
A’s investment = Rs. 28000 for 8 months
B’s investment = Rs. 42000 for 12 months
Total profit = Rs. 21125
Formula used:
Profit ratio = Investment ratio × Time (in months)
Calculation:
Profit of A/Profit of B = 28000 × 8/(42000 × 12)
⇒ Profit of A/Profit of B = 4/9
Let the profit of A be 4x and profit of B be 9x
So 13x = 21125
⇒ x = 1625
∴ Profit share of B = 9x = 9 × 1625 = Rs. 14625
