Engineer share =   5% of (500000-(500000*4/104)) or 5% of (500000-19231) or (5*480769)/100 or say rs24038/-

chemist share = 4% of (500000-(500000*5/105)) or 4% of (500000-23810) or (4*476190)/100 or say rs19048/-

Profit after commission = 500000 -(19048+24038)=456914/-

I may be wrong..........please correct me if u get some other answer and that seems correct onei
