Just take care of the months of investment, rest all will be simple.

Yogesh:Pranab:Atul = 45000*12:60000*9:90000*3
= 2:2:1

2. 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

3. 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

  • Only 1 and 3
  • Only 1 and 2
  • All 1, 2 and 3
  • None of above

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

We will require all the statements to answer this question,

1 and 2 will give :
C = Rs. (8000 x 9) for 1 month = Rs. 72000 for 1 month.
A = Rs. (1/4 * 8000 * 12 ) for 1 month = Rs 24000 for 1 month
B = Rs 48000 for one month

C:A:B = 72000 : 24000 : 48000 = 3 : 1 : 2

From 3, we will get total Profit = 1000

Now from the ratio and total profit we can get Share of C.

C share will be = 1000 * 2/6 = 333 (1/3)
