Answer» Answer: Given, The INVESTMENT of Sohan = 80000 rupees, TIME = 1 year = 12 months, While, the investment of Mohan = 65000 rs, Time = 6 months, We know that, Profit is JOINTLY proportional to investment and time, Thus, the ratio of profits of Sohan and Mohan = 80000 × 12 : 65000 × 6 = 960000 : 390000 = 96 : 39 = 32 : 13 Let Sohan's profit = 32x and Mohan's profit = 13x, Where, X is any positive real number, So, the TOTAL profit = 32x + 13x = 45x According to the question, 45x = 20000 Hence, the share of Sohan in the profit = 32x = so, 14,222.22 rupees |
