    2. 20:49:64
    3. 20:49:65
    4. 20:50:64
    Answer And Explanation

    Answer: Option B

    Explanation:

    Let their investments be Rs. x for 14 months, Rs. y for 8 months and Rs. z for 7 months respectively

    Then, 14x : 8y : 7z = 5 : 7 : 8

    Now, 14x/8x = 5/7
    => y = (49/20)x

    14x/7z = 5/8

    => z = (16/5)x

    =>x:y:z = x:(49/20)x:(16/5)x
    = 20:49:64

  • 6. A starts business with Rs. 3500 and after 5 months, B joins with A as his partner. After a year, the profit is divided in the ratio 2:3. What is B's contribution in the capital

    Answer And Explanation

    Answer: Option A

    Explanation:

    Let B contribution is x.
    \begin{aligned}
    \frac{3500*12}{7x} = \frac{2}{3} \\
    => 14x = 126000
    => x = Rs 9000
    \end{aligned}
