      This math problem is about two people, A and B, who are partners in a business. They each put in different amounts of money to start the business.

      A put in Rs.6000 and B put in Rs.9000. A gets a percentage of the profit for managing the business, and the rest is divided between them in proportion to their original investments.




      So, if the business makes Rs.12000 in profit, A gets Rs.1500 and B gets Rs.6300. In order to find out the money gained by A and B, the first step is to find out how much of the Rs.12000 profit goes to A for managing the business.

      This is done by dividing Rs.12000 by 100 and multiplying it by 12 1/2 (the percentage that A gets).

      This equals Rs.1500, so that is how much A earns for managing the business. The rest of the profit, Rs.10500, is then divided between A and B in proportion to their original investments.




      This means that A gets 2/5 of the Rs.10500, or Rs.4200, and B gets 3/5 of it, or Rs.6300. So, A ends up with Rs.5700 and B with Rs.6300.

      Explanation:

      A received 12 1\2% of profit for managing the business

      = 12000× 12 1\2 \ 100 = Rs.1500

      Remaining share of profit to be

      divided between A and B = Rs.12000 – 1500 = Rs.10500.

      Ratio of share = 6000 : 9000 = 2 : 3

      A’s share = Rs.10500×2\5 = Rs.4200

      B’s share = 10500×3\5 = Rs.6300

      A’s total gain = Rs.1500 + Rs.4200 = Rs.5700

      B’s total gain = Rs.6300
