Question 74
Suppose, C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5 are five companies. The profits made by Cl, C2, and C3 are in the ratio 9 : 10 : 8 while the profits made by C2, C4, and C5 are in the ratio 18 : 19 : 20. If C5 has made a profit of Rs 19 crore more than C1, then the total profit (in Rs) made by all five companies is
Solution
Given,
C1 : C2 : C3 = 9 : 10 : 8 ... i
C2 : C4 : C5 = 18 : 19 : 20 ... ii
Let's multiply i by 9 and ii by 5
C1 : C2 : C3 = 81 : 90 : 72
C2 : C4 : C5 = 90 : 95 : 100
Therefore, C1 : C2 : C3 : C4 : C5 = 81 : 90 : 72 : 95 : 100
Given,
100x - 81x = 19
x = 1
Hence, total profit = 100 + 95 + 72 + 90 + 81 = 438
