A and B started a business investing amounts of Rs. 92,500 and Rs. 1,12,500, respectively. If B's share in the profit earned by them is Rs. 9,000, what is the profit (in Rs.) earned by A?1. 10,0002. 11,2403. 7,4004. 9,000

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 7,400

Given:

Amount invested by A =Rs. 92,500

Amount invested by B = Rs. 1,12,500

B's share in profit = Rs. 9,000

Concept used:

Divide the total profit according to investment ratio.

Calculation:

Let the profit earned by A be Rs. X

According to the question,

(92500/112500) = (X/9000)

⇒ X = (92500 × 9000)/112500

⇒ X =  37 × 200

⇒ X = 7400

∴ The profit earned by A is Rs. 7400
