A and B provide Rs. 52,500 and Rs.17,500 for business capital. B receives 20% of the profits as manager, interest is then paid at 4% on the individual capital, and the rest of profits are divided equally between them. If A receives Rs. 3,934, what does B receive?

• 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.

• which answer is correct???? 5901 or 4151

• 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
