Correct option is B
Given:
Total investment by Isha and Anshu = ₹49,700
Total profit at the end of the year = ₹8,800
Isha's share of the profit = ₹2,200
Formula Used:
1. Profit is shared in the ratio of investments.
2. If two partners invest amounts I1 and I2, their profit shares are in the ratio I1 : I2
Solution:
Total profit = ₹8,800
Isha's share = ₹2,200
Anshu's share = Total profit - Isha's share
Anshu's share = 8,800 - 2,200 = 6,600
The profit is shared in the ratio of investments. Let:
Isha's investment = I
Anshu's investment = A
From the profit shares:
So, the ratio of investments is 1: 3 .
Total investment = ₹49,700
Let Isha's investment = x and Anshu's investment = 3x .
x + 3x = 49,700
4x = 49,700
x =
Anshu's investment = 3x = 3 12,425 = 37,275.
Option (B) is right.
