a and b were partners in a business with a profit – sharing ratio of 9 : 5. If b retired after 4 months of commencement of the business and the share of profit of a was 81000 rupees after 6 months, find the total profit for 6 months. Correct Answer 111000 rupees

A worked for all the 6 months and b retired after 4 months of the commencement of the business. The ratio of share of profit of a to b = 9 * 6 : 5 * 4 = 54 : 20 = 27 : 10 27 part of the profit = 81000 10 parts of the profit = 81000 / 27 * 10 = 30000 rupees The total of the profit = sum of both the shares = 81000 + 30000 = 111000 rupees
