Parvati and Pari invest in a business in the ratio 5 : 26. If total profit is Rs. 3038, then what is difference between the profit (inRs.) of Parvati and Pari?

Correct option is D

Given: ​

Ratio of investment = 5 : 26 

Total profit = ₹3038 

Concept Used: ​

Ratio of investment is directly proportional to the ratio of profit:

i.e  investment $$\propto$$ profit

Solution: ​

Investment ratio = 5 : 26 

then, Profit ratio = 5 : 26 

let the Profit of Parvati and Pari be 5x and 26x 

Then,

5x + 26x = 3038 

31x = 3038 

x = $$\frac{3038}{31} = 98$$ 

Now, difference = 26x - 5x = 21x 

21x = 21$$\times$$98 = ₹2058​
