Question : A and B started a business investing amounts of INR 92,500 and INR 1,12,500, respectively. If B's share in the profit earned by them is INR 9,000, what is the profit (in INR) earned by A?
Option 1: 9,000
Option 2: 10,000
Option 3: 7,400
Option 4: 11,240
Correct Answer: 7,400
Solution :
Amount invested by A = INR 92,500
Amount invested by B = INR 1,12,500
B's share in profit = INR 9,000
Let the profit earned by A be INR $x$.
According to the question,
$(\frac{92500}{112500}) = (\frac{x}{9000})$
⇒ $x = \frac{(92500 × 9000)}{112500}$
⇒ $x = 37 × 200$
⇒ $x = 7400$
$\therefore$ The profit earned by A is INR 7,400.
Hence, the correct answer is 7,400.
