Shyam, Gopal and Madhur are three partners in a business. Their capitals are respectively Rs 4000, Rs 8000 and Rs 6000. Shyam gets 20% of total profit for managing the business. The remaining profit is divided among the three in the ratio of their capitals. At the end of the year, the profit of Shyam is Rs 2200 less than the sum of the profit of Gopal and Madhur. How much profit, Madhur will get?
Explanation:
Capitals of Shyam, Gopal and Madhur are in the ratio 2 : 4 : 3.
Let the total profit be x .
∴ By conditions,
0.8x × 79 - 0.8x×29+0.2x = 2200
∴ x = 9000
∴ Madhur’s share in the profit
= 39 × 9000 × 0.8 = Rs. 2400
Hence, option (b).
