  1. Anil is an active and Vimal is a sleeping partner in a business. Anil invests ₹ 12000 and Vimal invests ₹ 20000. Anil receives 10% profit for managing, the rest being divided in proportion to their capitals. Out of the total profit of ₹ 9000, the money received by Anil is
    1. ₹ 4500
    2. ₹ 4800
    3. ₹ 4600
    4. ₹ 3937.5
    5. None of the above
Correct Option: D

For management, money received by Anil = 10% of 9000 = ₹ 900
Balance = ₹ (9000 - 900) = ₹ 8100
Now, ratio of investments =12000 : 20000 = 3 : 5

∴ Anil's share = ₹ 8100 x 3/(3 + 5)
= ₹ 8100 x 3/8 = ₹ 3037.50

∴ Amount received by Anil = ₹ 900 + 3037.50
= ₹ 3937.50
