In a business A and C invested amounts in the ratio 2 : 1 whereas A and B invested amounts in the ratio 3 : 2 . If their annual profit be Tk. 157300, then B's share in the profit is
- A. Tk. 24200
- B. Tk. 24200
- C. Tk. 24200
- D. Tk. 24200
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Assume that investment of C = x
Then, investment of A = 2x Investment of B = 2A/3 = 4x/3 (since ratio of investment of A : B = 2 : 3 i.e B = 2A/3) A : B : C
= 2x : 4x/3: x
= 2 : 4/3 : 1
= 6 : 4 : 3
B's Share = 157300 × 4/(6 + 4 + 3) = 157300 × 4/13 = 12100 × 4 = Tk. 48400.
Then, investment of A = 2x Investment of B = 2A/3 = 4x/3 (since ratio of investment of A : B = 2 : 3 i.e B = 2A/3) A : B : C
= 2x : 4x/3: x
= 2 : 4/3 : 1
= 6 : 4 : 3
B's Share = 157300 × 4/(6 + 4 + 3) = 157300 × 4/13 = 12100 × 4 = Tk. 48400.
