Question

Three friends A, B, C invested in a business in the ratio of 4:5:11. The total investment is 1000 rupees. What will be the profit earned by A out of the total profit of Rs 100 earned within 2 days?

• A. \( \text{20} \)
• B. \( \text{25} \)
• C. \( \text{55} \)
• D. \( \text{45} \)

Hint:

Investment ratios determine profit distribution proportionally among stakeholders.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The total ratio sum = \( 4 + 5 + 11 = 20 \). A's share = \( \frac{4}{20} \times 100 = 20 \) rupees. Thus, A earns a profit of Rs 20 from the total Rs 100.
