Question Detail

A,B and C enter into a partnership investing Rs 35000, Rs 45000 and 55000. Find the their respective shares in annual profit of 40,500

10500, 13500, 19500
10500, 13500, 18500
10500, 13500, 17500
10500, 13500, 16500

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

A:B:C = 35000:45000:55000 = 7:9:11

A's share = (7/27) *40500 = Rs 10500
B's share = (9/27) *40500 = Rs 13500
C's share = (11/27)*40500 = Rs 16500

[In options we can see that only salary of C is different in all options. So we cn just calculate the C share to solve question quickly :) ]

1. Manoj received Rs. 6000 as his share out of the total profit of Rs. 9000 which he and Ramesh earned at the end of one year. If Manoj invested Rs.120000 for 6 months, whereas Ramesh invested his amount for the whole year, what was the amount invested by Ramesh

Rs. 2000
Rs. 3000
Rs. 4000
Rs. 5000

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Suppose Ramesh invested Rs. x. Then,
Manoj : Ramesh = 20000 * 6 : x * 12.
120000/12x : 6000/3000
=> x = 120000/24 = 5000

2. Nirmal and Kapil started a business investing Rs. 9000 and Rs. 12000 respectively. After 6 months, Kapil withdrew half of his investment. If after a year, the total profit was Rs. 4600, what was Kapil’s share initially ?

Rs 2300
Rs 2400
Rs 2500
None of above

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Nirmal:Kapil = 9000*12:(12000*6+6000*6) = 1:1

Kapils share = Rs. [4600 *(1/2)) = Rs. 2300

3. A, B and C invested Rs. 8000, Rs. 4000 and Rs. 8000 respectively in a business. A left after six months. If after eight months, there was a gain of Rs. 4005, then what will be the share of B?

Rs 690
Rs 790
Rs 890
Rs 990

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

A:B:C = (8000*6):(4000*8):(8000*8)
= 48:32:64
= 3:2:4

So B share = (2/9)*4005 = Rs 890

4. A and B started a partnership business investing some amount in the ratio of 3 : 5. C joined them after six months with an amount equal to that of B. In what proportion should the profit at the end of one year be distributed amount A, B and C

3:7:5
6:10:5
6:10:7
6:7:5

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let initial investment of A is 3x and B is 5x, then C investment is also 5x, but most important to note in this question is the time duration of investment
Like, A invested for 12 months, B invested for 12 months and C invested for 6 months.

A:B:C =(3x*12):(5x*12):(5x*6)
= 36:60:30
= 6:10:5

5. Rahul and Bharti are partners in a business. Rahul contributes 1/4th capital for 15 months and Bharti received 2/3 of profit. For how long Bharti money was used.

8 months
10 months
11 months
17 months

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the total profit be Rs. Z

Bharti's share = (2/3)Z
Rahul's Share = Z-(2/3)Z = Z/3

Rahul:Bharti = Z/3:(2/3)Z = 1:2

Now let the total capital be Rs X, and Bharti capital was used for Y months
then, Rahul capital will be (1/4)X and Bharti capital wil be X-(1/4)X = 3X/4
\begin{aligned}
\frac{\frac{1}{4}X*15}{\frac{3}{4}X*Y}= \frac{1}{2} \\
Y = \frac{15*2}{3} = 10
\end{aligned}

So Bharti's money was used for 10 months
