Isha and Anshu together invested ₹44000 in a business. At the end of the year, out of a total profit of ₹8800, Isha's share was ₹1100. What was the investment of Anshu?

Correct option is A

Given:

Total investment = ₹44000

Total profit = ₹8800

Isha's profit = ₹1100

Concept Used:

Profit sharing is proportional to the investment made. The ratio of profits is equal to the ratio of investments.

Solution:

Anshu's profit: Total profit - Isha's profit = ₹8800 - ₹1100 = ₹7700

Isha's profit : Anshu's profit = ₹1100 : ₹7700 = 1 : 7

Since the profit ratio is equal to the investment ratio,

we have: Isha's investment : Anshu's investment = 1 : 7

Let Isha's investment be 'x'.

Then, Anshu's investment is '7x'. x + 7x = ₹44000

8x = ₹44000

x = $$\frac{₹44000 }{8 }$$​= ₹5500 (Isha's investment)

Anshu's investment:7x = 7$$\times$$​₹5500 = ₹38500

Therefore, Anshu's investment was ₹38500.

Option (A) is right.
