Srikant and Vividh started a bussiness investing amounts of ₹ 185000 and ₹ 225000, respectively, If Vividh's share in the profit earned by them is ₹ 9000, what is the total profit earned by them together ?
-
- ₹ 17400
- ₹ 16400
- ₹ 16800
- ₹ 17800
- None of the above
Correct Option: B
As we know,
Ratio of profits = Ratio of investments
∴ Srikant's share : Vividh's share = 185000 : 225000 = 37 : 45
Let Srikant's share = 37N
Vividh share = 45N
According to the question,
45N = 9000
∴ N = 9000/45 = 200
∴ Total profit = 37N + 45N = 82N
= 82 x 200 = ₹ 16400
