<result>B</result>
a profit of rs. 900 is divided between x and y in the ratio of 1 / 2: 1 / 3. what is the difference between their profit shares?
subtract(divide(divide(900, add(divide(1, 2), divide(1, 3))), 2), divide(divide(900, add(divide(1, 2), divide(1, 3))), 3))
a profit of rs . 900 is divided between x and y in the ratio of 1 / 2 : 1 / 3 or 3 : 2 . so profits are 540 and 360 . difference in profit share = 540 - 360 = 180 answer : b
