A and B jointly made a profit of Rs.1650 and they decided to share it such that (1 / 3) of A’s profit is equal to (2 / 5) of B’s profit. Then profit of B is
-
- Rs. 700
- Rs. 750
- Rs. 850
- Rs. 800
Correct Option: B
Let B’s profit be Rs. y.
∴ A’s profit = Rs. (1650 – y)
According to the question ,
| = | 3 | 5 |
⇒ 6y = 1650 × 5 – 5y
⇒ 6y + 5y = 8250
⇒ 11y = 8250
| ⇒ y = | = Rs. 750 | 11 |
