Rajan and Sajan started a business initially with Rs. 14200 and Rs.15600, respectively. If total profits at the end year is Rs.74500, what is Rajan’s share in the profit?

Explanation:

Ratio of profits = Ratio of investments

Rajan’s share : Sajan’s share

= 14200 : 15600 = 142 : 156 = 71 : 78

Let Rajan’s share = 71x

And Sajan’s share = 78x

According to the question,

71x + 78x = 74500

149x = 74500

X = 74500 / 149 = 500

Rajan’s share = 71x = 71 X 500 = Rs.35500
