Question

A, B, and C started a business by investing their amount in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5. At the end of the year, profit will be Rs.10,200. What is the difference b/w the profit amounts received by C and A? 

1. Rs. 3000
2. Rs. 3060
3. Rs. 2860
4. Rs. 3500

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 3060

Given:

Investing ratio among A, B and C = 2 : 3 : 5

Total profit = Rs.10,200

Calculation:

Profit amount got by C = 10,200 × (5/10) = 5100

Profit amount got by A = 10,200 × (2/10) = 2040

Required difference = (5100 – 2040) = 3060 

∴ The difference b/w the profit amount got by C and A is Rs. 3060
