if 3 divide a profit of rs 72,000 at end of the year according to the ratio of 2:3:4 of their investment how much did they receive

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!

See explanation in picture.

They receive 16000, 24000 and 32000 as per the ratios 2:3:4.

let x be a common factor,

Then,

2x+3x+4x =72000

sum them,

9x= 72000

x = 72000/9

=8000

Therefore, x= Rs. 8000.

2x= 8000×2 = Rs.16000

3x= 3×8000= Rs.24000

4x= 4×8000= Rs. 32000

You just need to put common factor on the ratios and then sum up them to get the value.

Hope it helps..
