Q.

In a business, A and C invested amounts in the ratio 2:1, whereas the ratio between amounts invested by A and B was 3:2. If Rs. 1,57,300 was their profit, how much amount did B receive ?

View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

A : B = 3 : 2 => B : A = 2 : 3 = 4 : 6 and A : C = 2 : 1 = 6 : 3. So, B : A : C = 4 : 6 : 3 or A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 3. B's share = Rs. (157300 x 4/13 ) = Rs. 48400.
