Ravi, Gagan and Nitin are running a business firm in partnership. What is Gagan's share in the profit earned by them? | |
I. | Ravi, Gagan and Nitin invested the amounts in the ratio of 2 : 4 : 7. |
II. | Nitin's share in the profit is Rs. 8750. |
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let us name Ravi, Gagan and Nitin by R, G and N respectively.
I. R : G : N = 2 : 4 : 7.
II. N = 8750..

| When N = 8750, then G = |  |
4 | x 8750 |  |
= 5000. |
| 7 |
Thus, both I and II are needed to get the answer.
Correct answer is (E).
