Three people, A, B and C, invest in a business in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. It was decided that 9% of the profits will go to charity. If the total profit was ₹2,50,000, then find the share of C in the profit (in ₹).

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Total profit = ₹2,50,000
Step 2: 9% of the profit goes to charity, so charity amount = 9% of 2,50,000 = (9/100) * 2,50,000 = ₹22,500
Step 3: Remaining profit to be shared = 2,50,000 - 22,500 = ₹2,27,500
Step 4: Investment ratio of A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 5
Step 5: Total parts = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 parts
Step 6: C's share = (5/10) * 2,27,500 = 0.5 * 2,27,500 = ₹1,13,750
Therefore, C's share in the profit is ₹1,13,750.
