Ram and Shyam enter into a partnership. Ram supplies whole of the capital amounting to Rs. 60,000 with the condition that the profits are to be equally divided and that Shyam pays Ram interest on half of the capital at 10% per annum, but receives Rs. 150 per month for carrying on the concern. Find their total yearly profit when Shyam’s income is half of Ram’s income.
Ram and Shyam enter into a partnership. Ram supplies whole of the capital amounting to Rs. 60,000 with the condition that the profits are to be equally divided and that Shyam pays Ram interest on half of the capital at 10% per annum, but receives Rs. 150 per month for carrying on the concern. Find their total yearly profit when Shyam’s income is half of Ram’s income. Correct Answer Rs. 12,600
Given:
Capital amount of Ram = Rs. 60,000
Rate of interest for Shyam = 10% per annum
Amount received for carrying on the concern = Rs. 150
Formula used:
Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100
Where, Simple interest = SI, Principal = P, Rate = R, Time = T
Calculation:
Amount received by Shyam (Total profit) for carrying on the concern = Rs. 150 × 12
⇒ Rs. 1,800
Amount received by Ram (from Shyam) as interest = (30000 × 10 × 1)/100
⇒ Rs. 3,000
Now,
Let Ram and Shyam gets Rs. x as share of the profit
So, Total profit = (2x + 1800)
Ram's total income in the year = (x + 3000)
Shyam's total income in the year = (x + 1800 - 3000)
⇒ (x - 1200)
According to the question
2(x - 1200) = (x + 3000)
⇒ 2x - 2400 = x + 3000
⇒ x = Rs. 5,400
Total yearly profit = (2x + 1800)
⇒ (2 × 5400 + 1800)
⇒ Rs. 12,600
∴ The total yearly profit is Rs. 12,600.
