Question 9

A started a business with the capital of Rs 1800. After 4 months B joined with Rs 3600. 6 months after the business started C joined with Rs 1200. If the total profit earned at the end of the year is Rs 1760, then what is the share (in Rs) of A?

Solution

Amount invested by A = Rs. 1800 for 12 months

Amount invested by B = Rs. 3600 for 8 months

Amount invested by C = Rs. 1200 for 6 months

=> Ratio of profit of A:B:C = $$(1800\times12):(3600\times8):(1200\times6)$$

= $$216:288:72=3:4:1$$

Total profit = Rs. 1760

$$\therefore$$ A's share = $$\frac{3}{(3+4+1)}\times1760$$

= $$3\times220=Rs.$$ $$660$$

=> Ans - (B)
