A and B started a business with some amount ratio of 2 : 1. After some months they double their share and after 2 months, B leaves the business and C joined the business with an amount Rs. 10000. After 4 months of joining, C doubles his money, and B comes back to the business with his initial principal Rs. 2000. At the end of the year, it is seen that the share of A and C are the same. After how many month A and B double their amount? Correct Answer 4 Months

Given:

A and B started the business with a certain amount at the ratio 2 : 1

After some month they double their money.

After that of 2 months, B leave business and C joined with Rs. 10000

After 4 months of joining C double his money and B back to the business with his initial money Rs. 2000

At the end of the year share of A and C are same.

Concept Used:

Concept of partnership and ratio

Calculation:

At the end of the year share of A and C are same. That means at the end of the year the ratio of the share of A and C will be the same

It is given that B joined the business again with his initial money Rs. 2000 and at the beginning ratio of money of A and B was 2 : 1

That means at the beginning share of A was Rs.4000

Let, after x months A and B Double their money

In x month share of A became 4000x

After x month A double his money and there was no further change

That means the share of A for (12 – x) months is (12 – x) × 8000

Total share of A is {4000x + (12 – x) × 8000}

⇒ (4000x + 12 × 8000 – 8000x)

⇒ (12 × 8000 – 4000x)      ----(1)

C joined the business with Rs. 10000 and continue it for 4 months

After 4 months he doubles his money for the rest of the year

C’s money was Rs. 20000 for

Total share of C is

⇒ (40000 + 120000 – 20000x)

⇒ (160000 – 20000x)      ----(2)

From (1) and (2) get,

(12 × 8000 – 4000x) = (160000 – 20000x)       

⇒ 96000 – 4000x = 160000 – 20000x

⇒ 16000x = 64000

⇒ x = 4

∴ After 4 months A and B double their money.

Paddy transplantation in Punjab is a very hard labor-intensive back-breaking job. In the transplant season, teams of special people swarm the entire rural landscape employed by the farmers and can be seen laboring away in the fields under the hot sweltering sun. Farmer Jagtar Singh has a full-time help at his sprawling farm who goes by the name of Hari, and who hails from Allahabad, UP. During the paddy transplant season, it is up to Hari to rope in his brothers, sons, and cousins from his native village to complete the task well in time. All his people are skillful and masters of the trade and equally efficient at their jobs. So, this past season, this is how the work went. Hari started the work and after 't' hours was joined in by his brother Jaggi. After another 't' hours, Neelu, their cousin, also jumped into the fray. So, after every 't' hours, 1 person kept on joining the team of already working men, and this process kept on continuing till the completion of the work. The last person worked for 't' hours. In the last season, the very same men had completed the same work working 2 shifts of 12 hours all of them working simultaneously owing to some peculiar weather conditions and time constraints. Jagtar Singh is a fair and just paymaster which is why he faces no labor shortage at this crucial time and which is why the whole 'Hari clan' are more than happy to work for him and are at his beck and call. He pays each of them individually proportional to the work done by them. This time around, Hari received 11 times as much as Surinder, his eldest son, who was the last person to join in. In how much time was the work completed?
