Let Rs.P be the total profits & Rs.X be the size of each equal part of the rest of the profits B’s total profits = 20/100 P + 4/100 (17500) + X.



A’s total profits = 4/100(52500) + X



Also, A’s total profits = 3934 => 4/100(52500) + X = 3934 => X = 1834.



Total profits of A & B = P => 3934 + 20/100 P + 4/100 (17500) + X = P => P= 8085.



Hence B receives 8085 – 3934 = 4151 => B receives Rs. 4151. Ans. (4)

If p is the total profit and Rs x is the size of each part of profit of B' profit, (1/5)p+(1/25)(17500)+x.
A's profit => (1/25)(52500)+x=3934;
x= 1834
total profit of A and B is p= 3934+ (1/5)p+(1/25)*17500+1834=8085
B receives = (8085-3934)= 4151.

Ans is 4151.

Let 'p' be the total profit and Rs x is profit for each.
total profit = (1/5)p+(1/25)(17500)+x.
A's profit = (1/25)(52500)+x=3934;
By solving the above equation, x= 1834
total profit of A and B is p= 3934+ (1/5)p+(1/25)*17500+1834=8085
B's profit = (8085-3934)= 4151.

4151 is the answer

5901
Here, 20% of profit for B and the rest is equally divided as A receives Rs. 3,934
rest is 80% = 3934*2= 7968
1% of 7968 = 98.35
20%= (98.35*20)100 = 1967
so for A , 3934+1967=5901
