1. 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

Rs 9000
Rs 7000
Rs 5000
Rs 4000

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}

2. Rs. 700 is divided among A, B, C so that A receives half as much as B and B half as much as C. Then C's share is

Rs 200
Rs 300

Let C = x.
Then B = x/2
and A = x/4

A:B:C = 1:2:4.
C's share Rs.[(4/7)*700) = 400
