Q.In a business, if the ratio of the investments of A and B is \(\cfrac{1}{7} : \cfrac{1}{4}\), and the total profit at the end of the year is ₹11,000, determine their respective shares of the profit.

The ratio of A and B's investments is \(\cfrac{1}{7} : \cfrac{1}{4}\) \[ = 4 : 7 = \cfrac{4}{11} : \cfrac{7}{11} \quad \left(\because 4 + 7 = 11\right) \] \[ \therefore\ \text{A’s share of the profit} = 11000 \times \cfrac{4}{11} = ₹4000 \text{and B’s share of the profit} = 11000 \times \cfrac{7}{11} = ₹7000 \]
