Problem Analysis:
Let the shares of the three partners be $14x$, $10x$, and $16x$, corresponding to the given ratio.
The difference between the largest and smallest shares is given as ₹29,547.
Mathematically, this is:
$16x - 10x = 29,547$
$6x = 29,547$
To find the value of one part ($x$), divide the difference by 6:
$x = \frac{29,547}{6}$
$x = 4924.5$
First, find the sum of the ratio parts:
Total ratio parts = $14 + 10 + 16 = 40$
The total profit is the sum of the ratio parts multiplied by the value of one part ($x$):
Total Profit = Total ratio parts $\times x$
Total Profit = $40 \times 4924.5$
Total Profit = $196,980$
Therefore, the total profit of the company is ₹196,980.
A, B and C invest in a business in the ratio 4 ∶ 5 ∶ 7. C is a sleeping partner, so his share of profits will be half of what it would have been if he were a working partner. If they make Rs 36,000 profit of which 25% is reinvested in the business, how much does B get (in Rs)?
Sumit, Ravi and Puneet invest Rs. 45000, Rs. 81000 and Rs. 90000 respectively to start a business. At the end of the year the total profit is Rs. 4800. 30% of the total profit gives in charity and rest is divided among them. What will be the share of Sumit?
A sum of ₹ 159250 is divided among A, B, C, and D such that the ratio of the shares of A and B is 1 : 3, that of B and C is 2 : 5, and that of C and D is 2 : 3. The share (in ₹) of A is:
A and B start a business by investing Rs. 1,00,000 and Rs. 1,50,000 respectively. Find the respective share of each out of a total profit of Rs. 24, 000.
Two partners A and B have started business with the capitals of Rs. 6,000 and Rs. 8,000 respectively. If they made profit of Rs. 5,600 then the share (in Rs.) of A is:
