  • Question
  • A and B invest ? 3000 and ? 4000, respectively in a business. A receives ? 10 per month out of the profit as a remuneration for running the business and the rest of the profit is divided in proportion to the investments. If in a year A totally receives ? 390, what does B receive?


  • Options
  • A. ? 630
  • B. ? 360
  • C. ? 480
  • D. ? 380

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 360 

    Explanation

    Let the annual profit be ? N Then, ? (N - 120) will be distributed between A and B as their shares of profit.
    Ratio of profits = Ratio of investments So, A : B = 3000 : 4000 = 3 : 4
    ? A's share = 120 + (N - 120) x 3/7
    ? 120 + (N - 120) x 3/7 = 390
    ? (N - 120) x 3/7 = 390 - 120 = 270
    ? N - 120 = (270 x 7)/3 = 630
    ? B's share = 4/7 x (N - 120)
    = (4/7) x 630 = ? 360
