There are two people A and B who invest 1300 and 1700 in bussiness. After one year they divide the 2/3 of the profits. and the rest profit they invest again in their bussiness. If A got 800 more than B. How much is their profit.

• let total profit x.
  distributed Profit : 2/3*x.
  A/B=17:13
  A's Share in profit : 17/30*2x/3 = 17x/45
  B's Share in profit : 13/30*2x/3 = 13x/45
  
  given A=B+800
  =>17x/45=13x/45+800
  => 4x/45=800
  =>x=9000(ans)
  Total profit =9000
  Shared Profit: for A : 3400
  for B : 2600.

• How would A's profit will be greater than B's.
  As A invested only 1300 compared to B 1700
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
• 9000 will be the total profit...
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• a has got 1700 and b has got 1300. its a mistake.

• In actual question A's investment was 1700
  So by this we got there investment was in the ratio of 17 to 13 after equating in to the equation of (x+800)/x
  i.e.
  17/13 = (x+800)/x
  we will get the value of x as 200
  and after multiplying 200*13 we will get 2600
  and A's share will be 2600+800 = 3400
  and as we know from the question it's the 1/3 of the actual money
  So the total of there money is 2600 + 3400 = 6000
  so the 2/3 which will give us 12000
  So the total profit will be 6000 + 12000 = 18000

• Sorry the value of x will be 2600
  I.E. the profit of B
  And the profit of A will be 2600+800 = 3400
  Which also satisfy the condition of ratio I E. 17:13
