    Question

    Parvati and Pari invest in a business in the ratio 7 : 15. If total profit is Rs. 1166, then what is difference between the profit (inRs.) of Parvati and Pari?

    A.

    424

    B.

    524

    C.

    274

    D.

    324

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Investment ratio of Parvati and Pari = 7 : 15

    Total profit = Rs. 1166

    Concept Used:

    Profit sharing is proportional to the investment ratio.

    Solution:

    Total parts in the ratio: 7 + 15 = 22

    Parvati's share of the profit: 722×\frac{7}{22} \times​ 1166 = Rs. 371

    Pari's share of the profit:1522×\frac{15}{22} \times​ 1166 = Rs. 795

    Difference between their profit shares: 795 - 371 = Rs. 424

    Therefore, the difference between the profits of Parvati and Pari is Rs. 424.

    Option (a) is right.
