Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 30,000
Given:
Virat's investment = Rs. 55,000
Anushka's investment = Rs. 44,000
Total profit = Rs. 78,000
Concept used:
Divide the total profit according to investment ratio.
Calculations:
The total investment of Virat in 6 months = 55000 × 6
The total investment of Anushka in 12 months = 44000 × 12
The ratio of equivalent capitals of Virat and Anushka = (55000 × 6) ∶ (44000 × 12) = 5 ∶ 8
Thus Virat’s share = 78000 × (5/13) = Rs. 30,000
∴ The share of Virat is Rs. 30,000.
