| Profit earned by an organisation is distributed among officers and clerks in the ratio 5: 3. If the number of officers is 45 and the number of clerks is 80 and the amount received by each officer is Rs. 25000, then what was the total amount of profit earned? [SBI (PO) 2011] |
A) 22 lakh
B) 18.25 lakh
C) 15 lakh
D) 23.25 lakh
E) None of these
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
| Since, the amount received by each officer is Rs. 25000. |
| Hence, 5 ratio = 25000 (each) |
| \[3\,\,\text{ratio=}\frac{25000}{5}\times 3=15000\](each) |
| Now, the total amount to be distributed |
| \[=45\times 25000+80\times 15000\] |
| \[=1125000+1200000\] |
| \[=2325000=\text{Rs}\text{. 23}\text{.25}\,\,\text{lakh}\] |
