The correct Answer is:
To find the share of Bhanu and Shafeeq from the annual profit of Rs. 5,500 based on their investments, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the investments - Bhanu's investment = Rs. 36,000 - Shafeeq's investment = Rs. 63,000 ### Step 2: Calculate the ratio of their investments To find the ratio of Bhanu's and Shafeeq's investments, we write it as: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Bhanu's investment}}{\text{Shafeeq's investment}} = \frac{36000}{63000} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the ratio To simplify the ratio, we can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 36,000 and 63,000 is 9,000. \[ \frac{36000 \div 9000}{63000 \div 9000} = \frac{4}{7} \] So, the ratio of Bhanu's investment to Shafeeq's investment is 4:7. ### Step 4: Calculate the total parts in the ratio The total parts in the ratio \(4:7\) is: \[ 4 + 7 = 11 \] ### Step 5: Calculate each person's share of the profit Now, we will find out how much each person gets from the total profit of Rs. 5,500. **Bhanu's share:** \[ \text{Bhanu's share} = \frac{4}{11} \times 5500 = \frac{22000}{11} = 2000 \] **Shafeeq's share:** \[ \text{Shafeeq's share} = \frac{7}{11} \times 5500 = \frac{38500}{11} = 3500 \] ### Conclusion - Bhanu's share of the profit is Rs. 2,000. - Shafeeq's share of the profit is Rs. 3,500. ---
