Akash and Dinesh started a business investing ₹17,500 and ₹35,000 respectively. At the end of the year, the total profit was ₹9900. Find the share of Dinesh.

Correct option is B

Given:

Akash's investment = ₹17,500

Dinesh's investment = ₹35,000

Total profit = ₹9900

Time period = 1 year (same for both)

Formula Used:

Partner's Share = $$\frac{\text{Individual Investment}}{\text{Total Investment}} \times \text{Total Profit}$$​​

Solution:

Investment ratio (Akash : Dinesh) = 17500 : 35000 = 1 : 2

Total parts = 1 + 2 = 3

Dinesh's share of profit: $$\frac{2}{3} \times 9900 = 6600$$

Thus, the correct option is (b) ₹6600
