Correct AnswerExplanation:
P : Q : R
Capital → 1 : 3/2 : 2
Profit → 2 : 3 : 4
Note : Profit would be divided in the ration of their capitals.
Profit = (2x+3x+4x) = 9x units
According to the question,
9x = 9,00,000 × 80/100
9x = 7,20,000
x = 80,000
Profit of P = 2x = 2 × 80,000 = Rs. 1,60,000
Profit of Q = 3x = 3 × 80,000 = Rs. 2,40,000
Profit of R = 4x = 4 × 80,000 = Rs. 3,20,000
