Question:

A and B started a partnership business investing some amount in the ratio of 3 : 5. C joined then 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 among A, B and C?

Options:

3 : 5 : 5

6 : 10 : 5

Data inadequate

Correct Answer:

6 : 10 : 5

Explanation:

Let the initial investments of A and B be 3x and 5x
A : B : C = (3x x 12) : (5x x 12) : (5x x 6) = 36 : 60 : 30 = 6 : 10 : 5.
