A and B invested ₹1,20,000 and ₹1,60,000 respectively. A remained for 10 months and B for 7 months. What is the total profit if B’s share is ₹16,800?
A और B ने क्रमशः ₹1,20,000 और ₹1,60,000 का निवेश किया। A 10 महीने और B 7 महीने तक रहा। यदि B का हिस्सा ₹16,800 है तो कुल लाभ क्या है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
₹34,800
Explanation
Profit is divided in the ratio of Investment × Time.
A's investment-time:
$1,20,000 \times 10 = 12,00,000$
B's investment-time:
$1,60,000 \times 7 = 11,20,000$
Therefore, the profit-sharing ratio is:
$12,00,000 : 11,20,000 = 15 : 14$
So, B's share is 14 parts = ₹16,800.
Therefore, 1 part:
$\frac{16800}{14} = ₹1200$
Total profit corresponds to 15 + 14 = 29 parts.
Total profit:
$29 \times 1200 = ₹34,800$
Answer: ₹34,800
