Question 128

A, B and C started a business by investing Rs. 12,800, Rs. 16,800, and Rs. 9600 respectively. If after 8 months B received Rs. 13125 as his share in the profit, what amount did C get as his share of profit ?

Solution

Ratio of investment of B and C = ration of profit of B and C (as time period of investment is same)

ratio of investment = $$\frac{16800}{9600}$$ = $$\frac{7}{4}$$

$$\frac{7}{4}$$ = $$\frac{13125}{Profit of C}$$

Profit of C = $$\frac{13125}{4}$$ * 7 = 7500

Hence option E
