A, B and C start a business. A invests money for 4 months and claims \(\frac{1}{8}\) of the total Profit and B invests money for 6 months and claims \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the Profit while C invests Rs. 1560 for 8 months. How much money A & B invest? Correct Answer A → Rs. 720; B → Rs. 1280
Given:
A invests money for 4 months and claims 1/8 of total profit
B invests money for 6 months and claims 1/3 of total profit
C invests 1560 for 8 months
Calculation:
Ratio of Profit = 1/8 : 1/3 : (1 – (1/8) + (1/3))
⇒ Ratio = 1/8 : 1/3 : 13/24
⇒ 3 : 8 : 13
Now, for A and C
A × 4 : C × 8 = 3 : 13
A = (1560 × 8 × 3)/(4 × 13) = 720
For B and C,
B × 6 : C × 8 = 8 : 13
B = (1560 × 8 × 8)/(6× 13) = 1280
