Hyder and Ahsan set up a business together with the initial investment of Rs. 90,000 and Rs. 60,000 respectively. At the end of the year, they earned a profit of Rs. 45,000. Find the share of Ahsan in the profit?

Explanation

Given:

Hyder’s investment = Rs. 90,000

Ahsan’s investment = Rs. 60,000

Total profit = Rs. 45,000

Step 1: Find the ratio of their investments

Hyder : Ahsan = 90,000 : 60,000 = 3 : 2

Step 2: Divide the profit in the ratio 3:2

Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5

Ahsan’s share = (2/5) × 45,000 = Rs. 18,000
