After one year A received Rs 1800 as his share of profit out of total profit of Rs. 3600 including his certain commission on total profit since he is a working partner and rest profit is received by B. what is the commission of A as a percentage of the total profit?
Options- A. 20%
- B. 10%
- C. 5%
- D. 25%
- Correct Answer
- 20%
ExplanationRatio of profit of A : B (excluding commission of A) = 3 : 5 ( 54 : 90)
Now the share of profit of B = 3600 - 1800 = Rs. 1800
So the share of profit A (excluding commission ) = Rs. 1080
So the commission of A = 1800 - 1080 = 720
Therefore the required percentage = (720 / 3600) x 100 = 20% - 1. By investing a 6% stock at 96 an income of Rs. 100 is obtained by making and investment of?
