Rakesh, Dinesh and Mahesh start a business by investing Rs.5000, Rs.8000 and Rs.12000 respectively. At the end of year, they got profit of Rs.12500. What is the share of Dinesh in profit?

A) Rs.4000
B) Rs.4500
C) Rs.6000
D) Rs.7500

Correct Answer:

A) Rs.4000

Description for Correct answer:

Share of Rakesh : Share of Dinesh : Share of Mahesh
= 5000 : 8000 : 12000 = 5 : 8 : 12

Total earned profit = Rs.12500

Share of Dinesh in profit = \( \Large \frac{5}{5 + 8 + 12}\times12500 = \frac{8}{25} \times 12500 \)

= 8 X 500 = Rs.4000
