Partnership

Question:

A, B and C are partners. They have invested Rs.35000, Rs. 25000 and 10,000 respectively for the same period. If the total profit is Rs. 18000, find the share of A.

Options:

9000

8000

8500

9500

Correct Answer:

9000

Explanation:

Since all three partners invested for the same period, the profit is divided in the ratio of their investments.

Investment ratio:

$35000 : 25000 : 10000 = 7 : 5 : 2$

Total ratio:

$7 + 5 + 2 = 14$

A's share of the profit:

$\frac{7}{14} \times 18000 = \frac{1}{2} \times 18000 = 9000$
