Profit is shared in the ratio of their investment
A’s share = 3.6 lakhs
⇒ B’s share = (5/2) × 3.6 = 9 lakhs
⇒ Total share earned by A + B = 12.6 lakhs
? 50% is given to charity,
∴ Total profit = 2 × 12.6 = 25.2 lakhs
A’s share = 3.6 lakhs
⇒ B’s share = (5/2) × 3.6 = 9 lakhs
⇒ Total share earned by A + B = 12.6 lakhs
? 50% is given to charity,
∴ Total profit = 2 × 12.6 = 25.2 lakhs
