Examples Uses of Ratio and Continued Ratio

u>Example:
            A, B and C starts business from 5000 for 1 year, 6000 for 9 months and 3000 for 7 months. They earned profit 3375. Find  share of each.
Solution:
             Let total profit = 3375
            Ratio of Investments
            
            Ratio between their periods
            
            Ratio of investments with respect to time
            
            Sum of ratios = 20 + 18 + 7 = 45
            Share of A =  x 3375 = 1500
            Share of B =  x 3375 = 1350
            Share of C =  x 3375 = 525


Example:
            Three partners invested Rs. 16000, 14500 and 10500 respective. The profit was distributed among the partners. If the third partner got Rs. 273 as profit, what was (a) total profit (b) profit of 1st and 2nd partner?
Solution:
            Let total profit = P
            Let A, B, C be three partners.
            Ratio between their partner investments
            
            Sum of ratio = 32 + 29 + 21 = 82
            Profit receive by third partner =  x P
            273 = x P
             
            Total Profit = 1066
            Share of 1st partner = x 1066 = 416
            Share of 2nd partner = x 1066 = 377


Example:
            A servant receives house rent allowance  of his basic pay. Medical allowance  of his basic pay. If he receives Rs. 450 as medical allowance, find his total basic pay an his house rent allowance.
Solution:
            Let basic pay =
            Let amount received as medical allowance = 450
            But medical allowance = (basic pay)

            =

              = 9000 Rs
           
             House rent allowance =  x 9000 = 900 Rs
