Correct Answer: 3,25,000
Solution : Reinvested amount = 30% of total profit ⇒ Remaining profit to be distributed = 70% of total profit The ratio of investment of A and B = 5 : 8 So, the profit ratio of A and B = 5 : 8 A's share in the profit = Rs. 87500 ⇒ 87500 = profit ratio of A × remaining profit = $\frac{5}{5+8}$ × 70% of total profit = $\frac{5×70 }{13×100}$ × total profit ⇒ Total profit = $\frac{87500×13×100 }{5×70}$ = 12500 × 26 = Rs. 325000 Hence, the correct answer is 3,25,000.
