Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
The ratio of investment of A and B = 5 : 8
The reinvestment amount = 30% of profit earned
A's share of the profit = Rs. 87,500
Concept used:
The ratio of profit distribution = The ratio of investment distribution
Calculation:
Let us take the total profit = P
Since they decided to reinvest the 30% profit so the remaining profit that is been distributed = 0.7P
A's share in the profit = 87500
⇒ 5/13 × 0.7P = 87500
⇒ 7P/26 = 87500
⇒ P = Rs. 325000
∴ The total profit is Rs. 325000.
