A and B together start a business, Subscribing Rs 3600 and 3400 respectively. A being a sleeping partner, B manages the business and receives 8 1/3% of the profits for his extra labour and the remainder is divided by them. Find the share of each in profit of Rs 2100

A.	Rs 920, Rs 710	B.	Rs 890, Rs 410
C.	Rs 990, Rs 1110	D.	Rs 290, Rs 310

Answer and Explanation

Answer:Rs 990, Rs 1110

Explanation:
Bâ€™s salary = (25/300)2100 = Rs 175
Profit to be distributed = Rs (2100 â€“ 175) = Rs 1925
A and B get Rs 3600x and Rs 3400x respectively
3600x + 3400x = 1925 => x = 11/40
A gets Rs (11/40)3600 = Rs 990
B gets Rs 175 + Rs (11/40) 3400 = Rs 1110
