A and B contribute to a business investment in the ratio 3:5. They earn a profit of ₹64,000. A is a working
partner and receives 10% of the profit extra. What is A's total share?
- A.
₹26,500
- B.
₹28,000
- C.
₹38,500
- D.
₹36,000
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
A first receives 10% of the total profit as the working partner's extra share: 10% of Rs. 64,000 = Rs. 6,400. The remaining Rs. 57,600 is divided in the investment ratio 3:5, so A's share from the balance is 3/8 x 57,600 = Rs. 21,600. Total share of A = 21,600 + 6,400 = Rs. 28,000.
