A is a active partner and B is a inactive partner in business. A puts in Rs. 5000 and B puts in Rs. 6000. A received 15% of the profit for managing the business and the rest is divided in proportion to their capitals. The amounts received by A out of the profit of Rs. 880 in all is ?

Answer: Option C

Total profit = Rs. 880
Since A gets 15% of total profit for management
∴ Remaining profit
$$\begin{array}{rl}& =880-\frac{880\times 15}{100}\\ & =\text{Rs}.748\end{array}$$

	A		B
Amount	5000		6000
Ratio of Capital	5	:	6

The remaining profit is being divided in the ratio of their capital
A's share of profit
$$\begin{array}{rl}& =\frac{748}{\left(5+6\right)}\times 5\\ & =\text{Rs}.340\end{array}$$
Total profit received by A
= 340 + 132
= Rs. 472
