After 6 months, A and B withdraw an amount of INR 8000/- each and C invested an additional amount of INR 8000/-, All of them invested for equal period of time. If at the end of the year, C got INR 12550/- as his share of profit, what was the total profit earned
- INR 25100/-
- INR 26600/-
- INR 24300/-

- INR 21440/-
- Explanation:
A : B : C = (2000×6+12000×6) : (28000×6
+20000×6) : (36000×6+44000×6)
= (20000+12000) : (28000+20000)
:(36000+44000)
=(20+12):(28+20):(36+44)
=8:12:20=2:3:5
Let total profit = INR x
⇒ 5/10x = 12550
