Question

Raghu invested Rs. 60000 and Nazar Rs. 100000 and started a business. Within one month a profit of Rs. 4800 was obtained. Raghu took 1800 and Nazar took . 3000 out of the profit obtained. What is the ratio of the investment? Is the investment and the profit divided proportionally?

Answer 1

Answer:See explanation

Explanation:

Raghu investment = Rs 60,000

Nazar investment = Rs 100,000

Raghu profit = 1800

Nazar profit = 3000

Raghu invested Rs. 60000 and Nazar Rs. 100000. The ratio of their investments will be:

= 60000/100000

= 3/5

= 3:5.

The ratio of their profit will be:

= 1800/3000

= 3/5

= 3:5

Since we have identical ratio, we can then say that the investment and the profit are divided proportionally.
