A and B invested in a business in the ratio 5: 2. If 9% of total profit goes to charity and A's share is Rs. 650, the total profit is |
A) Rs. 1000
B) Rs. 1200
C) Rs. 900
D) Rs. 1500
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Let total profit be Rs. x, |
After charity, remaining profit |
\[=x-\frac{x\times 9}{100}=Rs.\,\frac{91x}{100}\] |
Now, A's share \[=\frac{5}{(5+2)}\times \frac{91x}{100}\] |
\[\Rightarrow \] \[650=\frac{5}{7}\times \frac{91x}{100}\] |
\[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{650\times 7\times 100}{5\times 91}=1000\] |
\[\therefore \] \[x=Rs.\,1000\] |
So, total profit is Rs. 1000. |
