Correct Answer: TK 1100
Explanation:
Let, the amount of Babu = Tk. x
x + (x + 4500) + (x + 7000) = 28000
=> 3x = 28000 — 11500 = 16500
=> x = 5500
The amount of Babu = Tk. 5500
The amount of Arif= Tk. (5500 + 4500) = Tk. 10000
& The amount of Salam= Tk. (5500 + 7000) = Tk. 12500
Babu : Arif: Salam = 5500: 10000 12500 = 11 :20 : 25
Babu’s profit = (5600 x 1156
) = Tk. 1100
