Rs 2380
Rs 2300
Rs 2280
Rs 2260

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Now as per question, Kamal invested for 12 months and Sameer invested for 7 months.
So
Kamal:Sameer = (9000*12):(8000*7)
= 108:56
= 27:14

Sameer Ratio in profit will be
\begin{aligned}
= \left(6970*\frac{14}{41}\right) \\
= Rs& 2380
\end{aligned}

1. P and Q started a business investing Rs 85000 and Rs 15000 resp. In what ratio the profit earned after 2 years be divided between P and Q respectively.

17:5
17:3
17:6
17:7

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In this type of question as time frame for both investors is equal then just get the ratio of their investments.

P:Q = 85000:15000
= 85:15
= 17:3

2. In business, A and C invested amounts in the ratio 2:1, whereas the ratio between amounts invested by A and B was 3:2, If Rs 157300 was their profit, how much amount did B receive.

Rs 48000
Rs 47000
Rs 47400
Rs 48400

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

A:B = 3:2 = 6:4
=> A:C = 2:1 = 6:3

=> A:B:C = 6:4:3

B share = (4/13)*157300
= 48400

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, B and C enter into a partnership investing Rs 35000, Rs 45000 and Rs 55000 resp. The respective share of A,B and C in an annual profit of Rs 40500 are.

Rs. 11500, Rs. 13500, Rs. 16500
Rs. 10500, Rs. 12500, Rs. 16500
Rs. 10500, Rs. 13500, Rs. 15500
Rs. 10500, Rs. 13500, Rs. 16500

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

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

Now we are having the ratio.
to get the share, first make total of above ratio.
then get each share.

\begin{aligned}
\text{A's Share} = 40500*\frac{7}{27} \\
= Rs&10500 \\

\text{B's Share} = 40500*\frac{9}{27} \\
= Rs&13500 \\

\text{B's Share} = 40500*\frac{11}{27} \\
= Rs&16500 \\

\end{aligned}

5. 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
