Students often calculate individual profits separately (Sangeeta = 1/4th and Hemlata = 3/4th) and then subtract them, which takes extra time and increases calculation errors.
Identify Ratio and Total Parts
The investment ratio of Sangeeta to Hemlata is 1:3. Therefore, the total number of ratio parts is 1+3=4.
1+3=4┬аparts
Calculate Value per Ratio Part
Since total profit is Rs. 2568 corresponding to 4 total parts, the value of 1 ratio part is calculated as 42568тАЛ.
1┬аpart=42568тАЛ=642
Find the Difference in Profit
The difference between their shares is given by the difference in their ratio parts (3тИТ1=2parts).Multiplyingbythevalueof1 part:2├Ч642=1284.
Difference=2├Ч642=1284
B is correct because the difference in profit between Hemlata and Sangeeta is Rs. 1284.
