Radhika and Renuka enter into a partnership with investment of Rs. 50000 and Rs. 70000 respectively. Renuka gets 10% of the total profit for maintaining the business and the remaining profit is distributed between them in the ratio of their investments. If the total profit at the end of the years is Rs. 30000, find the total share of Renuka.
(a) Rs. 16575
(b) Rs. 21500
(c) Rs. 18750
(d) Rs. 11250

• Ans is (c) Rs. 18750.... but how??
  according to my evalution...
  
  profit earned by renuka is 10% of 30000 = 3000
  
  therefore remaining profit = 30000-3000=27000
  
  the ratio of their investment = 5:7
  thus, 27000*(7/12) = 15750 .... i.e. Renuka's share.
  
  thus ans is 15750...
  how cum 18750 (correct ans??) help me out....
  
  logically 15750 + 3000 (radhika's profit share) = 18750....
  but how its possible???

• @ Vijesh,
  
  Out of 30000, Renuka took Rs 3000 for managing business
  and Rs 15750 out of Rs 27000 in ratio of their investments.
  Radhika got Rs 11250 out of Rs 27000 in ratio of their investments.
  so Renuka got Rs 15750 + Rs 3000 = 18750.
  and Radhika got Rs 11250 .

• @ Vijesh,
  
  Pls note that
  total share of Renuka = 15750+3000 = 18750 which is correct.
  Where is the confusion ?
