Three persons A, B and C enter into a partnership to run a business. They invested their capitals in the ratio $\frac{4}{3}:\frac{5}{2}:\frac{6}{5}.$ After 5 months B increases his share by 40%. If the total profit at the end of a year is ₹50,550, then A's share in the profit is : |
₹8,000 ₹10,000 ₹20,000 ₹12,000 |
₹12,000 |
The correct answer is Option (2) → ₹12,000 The initial investment ratio of A, B and C is, $A : B : C = 45 : 52 : 65$ Let their initial investment $A = 43x, B = 52x, C = 65x$ A and C kept their investment. B increased his investment = $52x+40\%\,of\,52x=72.8x$ Total capital for each person, $A=43x×12=516x$ $B=(52x×5)+(72.8x×7)=769.6x$ $C=(65x×12)=780x$ $A : B : C = 516: 769.6 : 780$ Total profit = 50,550 A's share = $\frac{516}{2065.6}×50,550$ $≃₹12,000$ |
