After two years from the start of the business, profit earned was Rs. 2,00,610. What is A’s, B’s and C’s share? Correct Answer A = Rs. 69,930 B = Rs. 65,880 C = Rs. 64,800
GIVEN :
A and B invested Rs. 64,000 each.
After 6 months, A invested Rs. 6,000 more and B withdrew Rs. 4,000.
After nine months, C joins and invested Rs. 96,000 and A withdrew Rs. 10,000.
After two years from the start of the business, profit earned was Rs. 2,00,610
FORMULA USED :
Profit = Investment x Time
CALCULATION :
Ratio of their share in profit = Ratio of their investments
⇒ 64000 × 6 + 70000 × 9 + 60000 × 9 ∶ 64000 × 6 + 60000 × 18 ∶ 96000 × 15
Thus, ratio of their investments = 1554000 ∶ 1464000 ∶ 144000
= 1554 ∶ 1464 ∶1440
= 777 ∶ 732 ∶ 720
Profit earned after a year = Rs. 2,00,610
A’s share = (777/2229) × 2,00,610 = Rs. 69,930
B’s share = (732/2229) × 2,00,610 = Rs. 65,880
C’s share = (720/2229) × 2,00,610 = Rs. 64,800
Thus, A’s share is Rs. 69930, B’s share is Rs. 65880 and C’s share is Rs. 64800.
