A, B and C started a business. If the end of the year they gets the profit of Rs. 6300. In which A’s profit is double of B’s profit, and B’s profit is double of C’s profit. Find the profit of A?

Option 3 : Rs. 3600

Given:

Ratio of profit of A, B and C = 4 : 2 : 1

Total profit earned = Rs. 6300

Formula Used:

The ratio of profit earned is equal to the ratio of product of capital invested to the time

Calculation:

Total amount invested amount by A, B and C is Rs. 80000

Profit of A = 2 × (Profit earned by B)

Profit of B = 2 × (Profit earned by C)

Total profit earned by A, B and C = 6300

Let the profit earned by B be x,

⇒ Profit earned by A = 2x

⇒ Profit earned by C = x/2

⇒ 2x + x + x/2 = 6300

⇒ x = Rs. 1800

∴ Profit earned by A = 2x = 2 × 1800 = Rs. 3600
