P, Q and R enter into a partnership. P invests some amount at the beginning. Q invests double the amount after 6 months and R invests thrice the amount invested by P after 8 months. They earn a profit of Rs. 36000 at the end of the year. What is Q’s share in the profit? Correct Answer Rs. 12000
Given:
→ Q invests double the amount of P after 6 months
→ R invests thrice the amount of P after 8 months
→ Total Profit = 36000
Concept:
Ratio and proportions concept is used
Calculation:
Let A be the amount invested by P
So, 2A be the amount invested by Q
and 3A be the amount invested by R
Then, ratio of profit of P, Q and R = (A × 12) : (2 × A × 6) : (3 × A × 4)
⇒ Ratio of profit of P, Q and R = 1 : 1 : 1
∴ Q’s share = (1 / 3) × 36000 = Rs. 12000
