A and B invest ₹60,000 and ₹90,000 respectively. After a year, the total profit, including 20% interest on capital, is ₹40,000. What is B's share?

Explanation

Given: ​ Investment A = 60, 000, Investment B = 90, 000 Total Profit = 40, 000 Interest on Capital = 20% Solution: Calculate Interest on Capital. Interest for A = 20% of 60, 000 = 12, 000 Interest for B = 20% of 90, 000 = 18, 000 Total Interest = 12, 000 + 18, 000 = 30, 000 Calculate Remaining Profit. Remaining Profit = Total Profit − Total Interest 40, 000 − 30, 000 = 10, 000 Distribute Remaining Profit in Ratio of Investment. Ratio A:B = 60, 000 : 90, 000 = 2 : 3 3 B’s share of remaining profit = 10, 000 × = 6, 000 5 ​ Step 4: Calculate Total Share for B. Total B = Interest + Share of Profit 18, 000 + 6, 000 = 24, 000 Final Answer ₹24, 000​
