    A, B, C started a shop by investing Rs. 27000, Rs. 81000 and Rs. 72000, respectively. At the end of one year, B's share of total profit was Rs. 36000. What was the total profit?

    A) Rs. 108000

    B) Rs. 116000

    C) Rs. 80000

    D) Rs. 92000

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] A : B : C = 27000 : 81000 : 72000 = 3 : 9 : 8 Let the total profit be Rs. x Then, B's share \[=\text{Rs}.\,\left( x\times \frac{9}{20} \right)\] \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{9x}{20}=36000\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\frac{36000\times 20}{9}=\text{Rs}\text{.}\,\,80000\] Hence, the total profit is Rs. 80000.
