A working partner gets 20% as his commission of the profit after his commission is paid. If the working partner's commission is Rs. 8000, then what is the total profit in the business ?

Answer: Option C

Let the total profit = Rs. k
According to the question,
Remaining profit after paying 20% working
Partner's commission = (k - 8000)
$$\begin{array}{rl}& \therefore \left(k-8000\right)\times \frac{20}{100}=8000\\ & \iff k=48000\\ & \therefore \text{ Total profit}=\text{Rs}\text{. 48000}\end{array}$$
