Dilip, Ram and Amar started a shop by investing Rs. 27,000, Rs. 81,000 and Rs. 72,000 respectively. At the end of one year the profit was distributed. If Ram's share of profit be Rs. 36,000, then the total profit was?
Correct Answer: Rs. 80000
Explanation:
Ratio of shares = 27000 : 81000 : 72000 = 3 : 9 : 8
If Ram's share is Rs. 9 then total profit = Rs. 20
If Ram's share is Rs. 36000 then total profit = Rs. (20/9) x 36000
= Rs. 80000
