Three persons invested an amount of money in a business in the ratio \(\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{4}\). At the end of a year, the total profit was Rs.15600. The largest share received in profit will be:

  1. Rs. 7500

  2. Rs. 7000

  3. Rs. 8000

  4. Rs. 7200

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (D) Rs. 7200

Explanation

1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 = 6 : 4 : 3 (multiplying by 12). Each part = 15600/13 = 1200, so the largest share = 6 × 1200 = Rs 7200.
