In a partnership A invests \(\frac{1}{3}\)th of the total capital for \(\frac{1}{2}\) of the time, B invests \(\frac{1}{5}\)rd of the total capital for \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the time and C invests the rest of the capital for the whole time. If the difference between profit of A and C is Rs.8100, then find the profit of B. |
Rs.2800 Rs.2400 Rs. 1800 Rs. 1600 |
Rs. 1800 |
For \(\frac{1}{3}\), \(\frac{1}{5}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\): Let the total capital = 15 Unit, and Let the total time of investment = 6 months ATQ, A : B : C Inv. : 15 × \(\frac{1}{3}\) : 15 × \(\frac{1}{5}\) : Rest Time : 6 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) : 6 × \(\frac{1}{3}\) : 6
A : B : C Inv. : 5 : 3 : 7 Time : 3 : 2 : 6 Profit: 15 : 6 : 42 [Profit ratio = Inv. ratio × Time ratio] ⇒ Difference b/w A and C = 27R = 8100 ⇒ 1R = 300 ⇒ B's Profit = 6R = 6 × 300 = 1800 |
