Rakesh, Dinesh and Mahesh start a business by investing ₹ 5000 , ₹ 8000 and ₹ 12000 , respectively . At the end of year, they got the profit of ₹ 12500. What is the share of Dinesh in profit?
Correct Answer: ₹ 4000
Explanation:
Share of Rakesh : Share of Dinesh : Share of Mahesh
= 5000 : 8000 : 12000 = 5 : 8 : 12 Total earned profit = ₹ 12500 ∴ Share of Dinesh in profit
= [8/(5 + 8 + 12)] x 12500 = (8/25) x 12500
= 8 x 500 = ₹ 4000
