Calculating Vishal's Profit Share

This problem involves calculating profit distribution based on investment ratios after a portion is set aside for charity.

1. Determine the Profit Sharing Ratio

The partners Bharat, Jyoti, and Vishal invest ₹70,000, ₹32,000, and ₹46,000, respectively. Their profit-sharing ratio is the same as their investment ratio:

Ratio = ₹70,000 : ₹32,000 : ₹46,000

Simplify the ratio by dividing by 1,000: 70 : 32 : 46

Further simplify by dividing by 2: 35 : 16 : 23

The sum of the ratio parts is \(35 + 16 + 23 = 74\).

2. Calculate the Profit Amount for Distribution

The total profit earned is ₹52,540.

60% of the profit is given to charity:

Charity Amount = \(0.60 \times 52,540 = ₹31,524\)

The remaining profit to be distributed among the partners is:

Remaining Profit = Total Profit - Charity Amount

Remaining Profit = \(52,540 - 31,524 = ₹21,016\)

3. Calculate Vishal's Share

Vishal's share is determined by his portion of the profit-sharing ratio (23 out of 74 total parts) applied to the remaining profit.

Vishal's Share = \( \frac{\text{Vishal's Ratio Part}}{\text{Total Ratio Parts}} \times \text{Remaining Profit} \)

Vishal's Share = \( \frac{23}{74} \times 21,016 \)

Vishal's Share = \( 23 \times \frac{21,016}{74} \)

Vishal's Share = \( 23 \times 284 \)

Vishal's Share = \( ₹6,532 \)
