Vedclass · Answer

(B) Let the profit of $A$ be $A$ and the profit of $B$ be $B$.Given that $A + B = 1650$.According to the problem,$\frac{1}{3} A = \frac{2}{5} B$.From this,we can express $A$ in terms of $B$: $A = \frac{2}{5} 	imes 3 	imes B = \frac{6}{5} B$.Substitute this into the total profit equation: $\frac{6}{5} B + B = 1650$.$\frac{6B + 5B}{5} = 1650$.$\frac{11B}{5} = 1650$.$B = \frac{1650 	imes 5}{11}$.$B = 150 	imes 5 = 750$.Therefore,the profit of $B$ is $Rs. 750$.

$A$ and $B$ jointly made a profit of $Rs. 1650$ and they decided to share it such that $\frac{1}{3}$ of $A$'s profit is equal to $\frac{2}{5}$ of $B$'s profit. Then the profit of $B$ is (in $Rs.$)
