A invested 77000 for a year. B joined after 5 months with a capital of 60000. After few more months, C joined with a capital of 91000. The ratio of the profit of A, B and C after a year was 33 : 15 : 13. After how many months from A did C join? Correct Answer 8
Given: A invested 77000 for a year. B joined after 5 months with a capital of 60000. After few more months, C joined with a capital of 91000. The ratio of the profit of A, B and C after a year was 33 : 15 : 13.
Formula: Ratio of profits after investment = ratio of sum of the product of invesment amount and the time invested for.
Calculation: Let C joins after x months from A
|
A |
B |
C |
|
77000 × 12 |
60000 × 7 |
91000 × x |
|
77 × 12 |
60× 7 |
91 × x |
|
924 |
420 |
91x |
Ratio of profits of B : C = 15 : 13
⇒ 420/91x = 15/13
⇒ 420 × 13 = 15 × 91x
⇒ 5460/1365 = x
⇒ X = 4
So, after 12 – 4 = 8 months from A, C joins
