Pradipbabu and Aminabibi started a business by investing ₹24000 and ₹30000 respectively at the beginning of a year. After 5 months Pradipbabu invested the capital of ₹4000 more. If the yearly profit was ₹27716, let us write by calculating the share of each of them.
Pradipbabu’s initial investment = ₹24000 for a year
= 24000 × 12
= ₹288000
Later, Pradipbabu invested = ₹4000 for 7 months
= 4000×7
= ₹28000
So, Pradipbabu’s total investment = ₹288000 + ₹28000
= ₹316000
Aminabibi’s initial investment = ₹30000 for a year
= 30000×12
= ₹360000
Ratio of capital invested = 316000 : 360000
= 79:90
Total profit = ₹27716
Hence, their shares of profit in ratio of their capitals are:
