Solutions (1 to 5)

Let the investment of A, B , and C be y , 2y , 4y
after 6 months A invested half of amount more and hence for next 8 months in a year his invest is proportional to 1.5y . where as B invested same amount and C withdrew 1/4th of his amount
So their effective amount after 6 months are 4y and 3y respectvely
So after a year their profits will be shared in ratio = A:B:C = (6y + 9y) : (12y + 24y) : (24y + 18y)
A:B:C = 15:36:42 = 5:12:14

Let the investment of A, B , and C be y , 3y , 5y
after 4 months A invested same amount and hence for next 8 months in a year his invest is proportional to 2y . where as B and C withdrew half of their amount
So their effective amount after 4 months are 1.5y and 2.5y respectvely
So after a year their profits will be shared in ratio = A:B:C = (4y+16y) : (12y + 12y) : (20y + 20y) A:B:C = 20:24:40 = 5:6:10

let the investment of C in business be Rs YAs it is mentioned that A and B remain invested for whole year and have contributions Rs 24000 and Rs 28000 respectively. and C joined them only for 8 months in a years so the Profit will divide in ratio = A:B:C = (24000×12) : (28000×12) : (Yx8)
profit at year end = Rs 19950
and C’s share = $$\frac{Y}{78000+Y} x 19950= 7600$$
Y = 29718 + 0.381 Y
Y = 48009 ~ Rs 48000

Given , the ratio of investments of A,B,C is 4:6:5 . So , let them be 4k , 6k, 5k.
Given that A started the business. After 4 months from the start of the business, B and C joined.
i.e. A worked for 12 months while B , C worked for 8 months.
A’s share in annual profit was Rs. 250 more than C’s share.
So , A = C +250
12(4k) = 8(5K) + 250
48K = 40K + 250
k = 31.25
Total amount = 12(4K) + 8(6k) +8(5K)
= 136K
= 136*31.25
= 4250

$$\frac{24y}{100}$$ + $$\frac{36y}{100}$$ = 1800
