Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs.1170

Given

Madan invested (3/5)th of the total investment.

Rais’ investment = Ahmad's investment

Ahmad got Rs. 234 as a profit .

Formula used

Basic knowledge of ratio and proportion.

Calculation

Let the total investment = x

Madan’s investment = (3/5)x

Rest of investment = x – (3/5)x = (2/5)x

According to the question, 

Rais’ investment = Ahmad's investment

So, the investments by Rais and Ahmad are (x/5), each.

So, from the value of Ahmad's share in the profit, we have:

⇒ x/5 = 234

⇒ x = 234 × 5 = 1170

∴ The value of total profit is Rs.1170
