A, B and C invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 6 : 5. A and C are working partners. Only B is a sleeping partner, hence his share will be 3/4th of what it would have been if he were a working partner. If they make Rs 50,000 profit, half of which is reinvested in the business and the other half is distributed between the partners, then how much does C get (in Rs.)?
A, B and C invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 6 : 5. A and C are working partners. Only B is a sleeping partner, hence his share will be 3/4th of what it would have been if he were a working partner. If they make Rs 50,000 profit, half of which is reinvested in the business and the other half is distributed between the partners, then how much does C get (in Rs.)? Correct Answer 10000
Let the profit received by A, B and C be ‘3x’, ‘6x’ and ‘5x’ if all were a working partner
∵ B is a sleeping partner hence, he get (3/4) × 6x = 9x/2
They make Rs 50000 profit, half of which is reinvested in the business
Half of the profit i.e. 25000 is divided among A, B and C
According to question
3x + 9x/2 + 5x = 25000
⇒ x = 2000
⇒ C’s share from the profit = 5x = 5 × 2000 = Rs. 10000
