    Explanation

    Total income = Profit earned + Total investment in the year. Profit earned = (Investment × Profit percentage) ÷ 100 Profit percentage of A in 2007 = 45% Profit percentage of A in 2008 = 60% Say I is the investment of A in 2007 and 2008. ⇒ Profit earned in 2007 = (I × 45)/100 = 0.45 × I ⇒ Profit earned in 2008 = (I × 60)/100 = 0.60 × I Given Income in 2008 = 24 lakhs ⇒ I + 0.60 × I = 24 lakhs ⇒ 1.60 × I = 24 lakhs ⇒ I = 15 lakhs. ∴ Profit earned in 2007 = 0.45 × 15 = 6.75 lakhs and profit earned in 2008 = 0.60 × 15 = 9 lakhs. ∴ Difference between profits earned = 9 – 6.75 = 2.25 lakhs
