Anil started a business with an investment of Rs. 25,000. After 3 months, Vishal joined his business with a capital of Rs. 30,000. At the end of the year, they have made a profit of Rs. 19,000. What will be Anil’s share in the profit?

1. Rs. 10,000
2. Rs. 12,500
3. Rs. 10,250
4. Rs. 14,000

Correct Option: A

Given that , Total profit = Rs. 19,000
As per the given in question ,
Ratio of the equivalent capitals of Anil and Vishal for 1 month = 25000 × 12 : 30000 × 9
Ratio of the equivalent capitals of Anil and Vishal for 1 month = 25 × 12 : 30 × 9 = 10 : 9
Sum of the terms of ratio = 10 + 9 = 19

Anil’s share =	Ratio of Anil	× Total profit
	Sum of the terms of ratio

Anil’s share =	10	× 19000 = Rs. 10000
	19
