Working Notes:
1. Calculation of profit before charging any commission
Charu’scommission @ 10% on the net profits charging any commission = 44,000
Therefore, total profit before charging any commission = Rs. 44,000 x 100 / 10 – Rs. 4,40,000
2. Calculation of Divya’s Commission
Profit after charging Charu’s commission= Rs. 3,96,000 (Rs. 4,40,000 – Rs. 44,000)
Commission of Divya = Rs.  3,96,000 x 10/ 110 = Rs. 36,000

C= 1/6 – 2/10 = 5-6/ 30 = 1/30 (SAcrifice)
D= 1/6 – 1/10 = 5-3/ 30 = 2/30 (Sacrifice)
