Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: Rs. 750

Solution : Let A's profit as $a$ and B's profit as $b$.
Given that $\frac{1}{3}$ of A's profit is equal to $\frac{2}{5}$ of B's profit.
$\frac{1}{3}a = \frac{2}{5}b$
$a = \frac{6}{5}b$
The total profit of Rs. 1650 is divided among A and B.
$a + b = 1650$
⇒ $b +\frac{6}{5}b= 1650$
⇒ $5b+6b=8250$
⇒ $11b=8250$
⇒ $b=750$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 750.
