MediumMCQ
Satheesh started a business investing ₹ $60000$. After $3$ months,Sunil joined him with a capital of ₹ $75000$. After another $6$ months,Subhash joined them with a capital of ₹ $105000$. At the end of the year,they made a profit of ₹ $19000$. Find the share of each.
A
₹ $8500$,₹ $7000$,₹ $3500$
B
₹ $8000$,₹ $7500$,₹ $3500$
C
₹ $8000$,₹ $6500$,₹ $4500$
D
₹ $8500$,₹ $6500$,₹ $4000$

Solution

(B) The ratio of their investments is calculated based on the product of capital and time period for each partner.
Satheesh invested for $12$ months,Sunil for $9$ months $(12 - 3 = 9)$,and Subhash for $3$ months $(9 - 6 = 3)$.
Ratio of investments = $(60000 \times 12) : (75000 \times 9) : (105000 \times 3)$
$= 720000 : 675000 : 315000$
Dividing by $45000$,we get the ratio = $16 : 15 : 7$.
Sum of ratio parts = $16 + 15 + 7 = 38$.
Total profit = ₹ $19000$.
Share of Satheesh = $(16 / 38) \times 19000 = ₹ 8000$.
Share of Sunil = $(15 / 38) \times 19000 = ₹ 7500$.
Share of Subhash = $(7 / 38) \times 19000 = ₹ 3500$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ and $B$ started a partnership business investing some amount in the ratio of $3: 5$. $C$ joined them 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 $C$?
A
$3: 5: 2$
B
$3: 5: 5$
C
$6: 10: 5$
D
Data inadequate

Solution

(C) Let the investments of $A$ and $B$ be $3x$ and $5x$ respectively.
Since $C$ joined with an amount equal to $B$,the investment of $C$ is $5x$.
$A$ and $B$ invested for $12$ months,while $C$ invested for $6$ months.
The ratio of profit distribution is equal to the ratio of (Investment $\times$ Time).
Ratio $= (3x \times 12) : (5x \times 12) : (5x \times 6)$
$= 36x : 60x : 30x$
Dividing by $6x$,we get the ratio as $6 : 10 : 5$.

MediumMCQ
Nikita and Nishita enter into a partnership by investing ₹ $50,000$ and ₹ $40,000$ respectively. They agreed to share profits in the ratio of their capitals. Find out the share of Nikita when the total profit of the business is ₹ $22,500$ after a year.
A
$1500$
B
$9500$
C
$10500$
D
$12500$

Solution

(D) Given: Investment of Nikita $(C_1)$ = ₹ $50,000$,Investment of Nishita $(C_2)$ = ₹ $40,000$,Total Profit $(P)$ = ₹ $22,500$.
The ratio of their capitals is $C_1 : C_2 = 50,000 : 40,000 = 5 : 4$.
Total ratio parts = $5 + 4 = 9$.
Nikita's share of profit = $\frac{5}{9} \times 22,500$.
Nikita's share = $5 \times 2,500 = ₹ 12,500$.

MediumMCQ
Niki,Nisha and Anu formed a partnership with investments of ₹ $75,000$,₹ $60,000$ and ₹ $40,000$ respectively. After $3$ years of operation,the partnership earned a net profit of ₹ $26,250$. What was the share of Anu in the profit (in ₹)?
A
$6000$
B
$5000$
C
$8000$
D
None of these

Solution

(A) The ratio of the investments made by Niki,Nisha,and Anu is $75,000 : 60,000 : 40,000$.
Simplifying this ratio by dividing by $5,000$,we get $15 : 12 : 8$.
Since the time period for all partners is the same ($3$ years),the profit-sharing ratio is equal to the investment ratio,which is $15 : 12 : 8$.
The sum of the ratio terms is $15 + 12 + 8 = 35$.
The total profit earned is ₹ $26,250$.
Anu's share in the profit is calculated as $\frac{8}{35} \times 26,250$.
$\frac{26,250}{35} = 750$.
Therefore,Anu's share $= 8 \times 750 = ₹ 6,000$.

MediumMCQ
Mahesh,Suresh,and Ganesh entered into a partnership business. Mahesh invested ₹ $16,000$ for $9 \text{ months}$. Suresh invested ₹ $12,000$ for $6 \text{ months}$,and Ganesh invested ₹ $8,000$ for $12 \text{ months}$. At the end of a year,there was a profit of ₹ $26,000$. Find out the share of Suresh in the profit (in ₹).
A
$8000$
B
$7500$
C
$6000$
D
None of these

Solution

(C) The ratio of the profit shares is equal to the ratio of the product of their investments and the time period for which they invested.
Ratio of shares = $(16000 \times 9) : (12000 \times 6) : (8000 \times 12)$
$= 144000 : 72000 : 96000$
Dividing by $24000$,we get the ratio as $6 : 3 : 4$.
Total parts = $6 + 3 + 4 = 13$.
Suresh's share = $\frac{3}{13} \times 26000 = 3 \times 2000 = ₹ 6000$.

MediumMCQ
Sita and Gita enter into a partnership. Sita contributes ₹ $5,000$ while Gita contributes ₹ $4,000$. After $1$ month,Gita withdraws $\frac{1}{4}$ part of her contribution and after $3$ months,Sita invests ₹ $2,000$ more. When Gita withdraws her investment,at the same time,Rita joins them by investing ₹ $7,000$. If at the end of $1$ year there is a profit of ₹ $1,218$,what will be the share of Rita in the profit (in ₹)?
A
$488.47$
B
$8447.37$
C
$588.47$
D
None of these

Solution

(A) Step $1$: Calculate the equivalent capital for each partner for $1$ year ($12$ months).
Sita's investment: She invested ₹ $5,000$ for $3$ months and then added ₹ $2,000$,making it ₹ $7,000$ for the remaining $9$ months.
Sita's equivalent capital $= (5000 \times 3) + (7000 \times 9) = 15000 + 63000 = 78000$.
Step $2$: Gita's investment: She invested ₹ $4,000$ for $1$ month. Then she withdrew $\frac{1}{4}$ of $4000$ (which is $1000$),leaving $3000$ for the remaining $11$ months.
Gita's equivalent capital $= (4000 \times 1) + (3000 \times 11) = 4000 + 33000 = 37000$.
Step $3$: Rita's investment: Rita joined after $1$ month and invested ₹ $7,000$ for the remaining $11$ months.
Rita's equivalent capital $= 7000 \times 11 = 77000$.
Step $4$: Calculate the ratio of their shares: $78000 : 37000 : 77000 = 78 : 37 : 77$.
Total ratio sum $= 78 + 37 + 77 = 192$.
Step $5$: Rita's share $= \frac{77}{192} \times 1218 = \frac{93786}{192} \approx 488.47$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ starts a business with an investment of ₹ $3500$. Five months later,$B$ joins $A$ as a partner. After a year,the profits are divided in the ratio of $2:3$. How much did $B$ contribute (in ₹)?
A
$7000$
B
$11000$
C
$9000$
D
None of these

Solution

(C) Let the investment of $B$ be $x$.
$A$ invested ₹ $3500$ for $12$ months.
$B$ invested $x$ for $(12 - 5) = 7$ months.
The ratio of profits is equal to the ratio of the product of investment and time.
$\frac{\text{Profit of } A}{\text{Profit of } B} = \frac{3500 \times 12}{x \times 7}$
Given the ratio is $2:3$,so:
$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{42000}{7x}$
$14x = 126000$
$x = \frac{126000}{14} = 9000$
Therefore,$B$ contributed ₹ $9000$.

MediumMCQ
Gupta and Bansal enter into a partnership with their capitals in the ratio $5:6$. At the end of $8$ months,Gupta withdraws his capital. If they receive their shares of profits in the ratio of $5:9$,find out how long (in months) Bansal's capital was invested in the business?
A
$10$
B
$12$
C
$14$
D
None of these

Solution

(B) Let the capital of Gupta be $5k$ and Bansal be $6k$.
Let Bansal's capital be invested for $x$ months.
The profit ratio is given by the product of capital and time.
Ratio of profits = $\frac{5k \times 8}{6k \times x} = \frac{5}{9}$.
Simplifying the equation: $\frac{40}{6x} = \frac{5}{9}$.
Cross-multiplying gives $5 \times 6x = 40 \times 9$.
$30x = 360$.
$x = \frac{360}{30} = 12$ months.
Therefore,Bansal's capital was invested for $12$ months.
59
MediumMCQ
Arvind began a business with ₹ $550$. Later,Brij joined with ₹ $330$. When did Brij join if the profit at the end of the year was divided in the ratio $10:3$?
A
After $4$ months
B
After $6$ months
C
After $4.5$ months
D
None of these

Solution

(B) Let $x$ be the number of months Brij remained in the business.
Arvind invested ₹ $550$ for $12$ months.
Brij invested ₹ $330$ for $x$ months.
The ratio of profits is equal to the ratio of the product of capital and time.
$\frac{\text{Arvind's profit}}{\text{Brij's profit}} = \frac{550 \times 12}{330 \times x}$
Given ratio is $\frac{10}{3}$.
$\frac{10}{3} = \frac{6600}{330x}$
$3300x = 19800$
$x = \frac{19800}{3300} = 6$ months.
Since Brij was in the business for $6$ months out of $12$ months,he joined after $12 - 6 = 6$ months.

MediumMCQ
$A$ began a business with ₹ $3750$. $B$ joined later with ₹ $5000$. When did $B$ join if the profits at the end of the year were divided equally?
A
After $5$ months
B
After $3$ months
C
After $7$ months
D
None of these

Solution

(B) Let $B$ remain in the business for $x$ months.
Investment of $A = ₹ 3750$,Time = $12$ months.
Investment of $B = ₹ 5000$,Time = $x$ months.
Since the profits are divided equally,the ratio of their shares is $1:1$.
Profit ratio = (Investment of $A \times$ Time of $A$) : (Investment of $B \times$ Time of $B$).
$1/1 = (3750 \times 12) / (5000 \times x)$.
$5000x = 45000$.
$x = 45000 / 5000 = 9$ months.
$B$ remained in the business for $9$ months,which means $B$ joined after $12 - 9 = 3$ months.
Therefore,the correct option is $B$ (After $3$ months).

DifficultMCQ
Anju and Brijesh enter into a partnership with their capitals in the ratio of $5:9$. At the end of $8$ months,Anju withdraws her capital. If they receive their share of profit in the ratio of $4:9$,find out how long Brijesh's capital was invested in the business (in months).
A
$8$
B
$10$
C
$12$
D
None of these

Solution

(B) Let Brijesh's capital be invested for $x$ months.
The ratio of the capitals of Anju and Brijesh is $5:9$.
Let the capitals of Anju and Brijesh be $5y$ and $9y$ respectively.
Anju's investment product is $C_1 \times t_1 = 5y \times 8 = 40y$.
Brijesh's investment product is $C_2 \times t_2 = 9y \times x = 9yx$.
The ratio of their profits is equal to the ratio of their investment products:
$\frac{\text{Anju's profit}}{\text{Brijesh's profit}} = \frac{C_1 \times t_1}{C_2 \times t_2}$
Given the profit ratio is $4:9$,we have:
$\frac{4}{9} = \frac{40y}{9yx}$
$\frac{4}{9} = \frac{40}{9x}$
$4x = 40$
$x = 10$ months.
Thus,Brijesh's capital was invested for $10$ months.

EasyMCQ
$A$, $B$ and $C$ invested capitals in the ratio $3: 5: 9$; the timing of their investments being in the ratio $2: 3: 1$. In what ratio would their profits be distributed?
A
$2: 5: 3$
B
$3: 2: 5$
C
$7: 5: 3$
D
None of these

Solution

(A) The profit earned by partners is proportional to the product of their invested capital and the time period for which the capital is invested.
Let the capitals of $A$, $B$, and $C$ be $3x$, $5x$, and $9x$ respectively.
Let the time periods for which $A$, $B$, and $C$ invested their capitals be $2y$, $3y$, and $y$ respectively.
The ratio of their profits is given by $(Capital_A \times Time_A) : (Capital_B \times Time_B) : (Capital_C \times Time_C)$.
Profit ratio $= (3x \times 2y) : (5x \times 3y) : (9x \times y)$.
Profit ratio $= 6xy : 15xy : 9xy$.
Dividing by $3xy$, we get the ratio as $2 : 5 : 3$.

EasyMCQ
Sumit,Punit,and Ramit started a business by investing their capitals in the ratio of $1: 2: 3$. At the end of the business term,they received their shares of profit in the ratio of $1: 2: 3$. Find out the ratio of time for which they invested their capitals.
A
$1: 1: 1$
B
$2: 3: 4$
C
$2: 4: 3$
D
None of these

Solution

(A) We know that the profit share $P$ is given by the product of capital $C$ and time $T$,i.e.,$P = C \times T$.
Therefore,the ratio of time $T$ is given by $T = P / C$.
Given,the ratio of capitals $C_1 : C_2 : C_3 = 1 : 2 : 3$.
Given,the ratio of profits $P_1 : P_2 : P_3 = 1 : 2 : 3$.
Thus,the ratio of time is $T_1 : T_2 : T_3 = (P_1 / C_1) : (P_2 / C_2) : (P_3 / C_3)$.
Substituting the values,we get $T_1 : T_2 : T_3 = (1 / 1) : (2 / 2) : (3 / 3) = 1 : 1 : 1$.
Hence,Sumit,Punit,and Ramit invested their capitals for an equal period of time.

EasyMCQ
$A$,$B$ and $C$ start a business. If the ratio of their periods of investments is $2: 3: 6$ and their profits are in the ratio of $4: 5: 6$, then the ratio of capitals of $A$,$B$ and $C$ is
A
$6: 8: 10$
B
$12: 10: 6$
C
$10: 12: 6$
D
None of these

Solution

(D) We know that $\text{Profit} = \text{Capital} \times \text{Time}$, therefore $\text{Capital} = \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Time}}$.
Given, the ratio of profits $(P_A : P_B : P_C) = 4 : 5 : 6$.
The ratio of time periods $(t_A : t_B : t_C) = 2 : 3 : 6$.
The ratio of capitals $(C_A : C_B : C_C) = \frac{P_A}{t_A} : \frac{P_B}{t_B} : \frac{P_C}{t_C}$.
Substituting the values, we get $\frac{4}{2} : \frac{5}{3} : \frac{6}{6} = 2 : \frac{5}{3} : 1$.
To simplify, multiply each term by $3$: $(2 \times 3) : (\frac{5}{3} \times 3) : (1 \times 3) = 6 : 5 : 3$.
Since $6:5:3$ is not among the options, the correct answer is $D$ (None of these).

MediumMCQ
$A$,$B$,and $C$ rented a pasture. $A$ puts in $12$ oxen for $6 \text{ months}$,$B$ puts in $8$ oxen for $7 \text{ months}$,and $C$ puts in $6$ oxen for $8 \text{ months}$. If the total rent of the field is ₹ $396$,what amount (in ₹) of rent was paid by $A$?
A
$126$
B
$108$
C
$162$
D
$168$

Solution

(C) The rent is distributed in the ratio of (number of oxen $\times$ time period).
Ratio of shares of $A, B, C = (12 \times 6) : (8 \times 7) : (6 \times 8)$
$= 72 : 56 : 48$
Dividing by the common factor $8$,we get the ratio as $9 : 7 : 6$.
Sum of the ratio terms $= 9 + 7 + 6 = 22$.
Rent paid by $A = \frac{9}{22} \times 396$
$= 9 \times 18 = 162$.
Thus,the rent paid by $A$ is ₹ $162$.

EasyMCQ
$A, B, C$ and $D$ enter into a partnership. $A$ contributes $\frac{1}{3}$ of the capital,$B$ contributes $\frac{1}{4}$,$C$ contributes $\frac{1}{5}$,and $D$ contributes the rest. What is the share (in ₹) of $D$ when the total profit is ₹ $6000$?
A
$2000$
B
$1600$
C
$1200$
D
$1300$

Solution

(D) The total capital is considered as $1$ unit.
$D$'s share of capital $= 1 - (\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5})$.
To add the fractions,find the least common multiple $(LCM)$ of $3, 4, 5$,which is $60$.
$D$'s share $= 1 - (\frac{20}{60} + \frac{15}{60} + \frac{12}{60}) = 1 - \frac{47}{60} = \frac{13}{60}$.
Since the profit is distributed in proportion to the capital contributed,$D$'s share of the profit is $\frac{13}{60}$ of the total profit.
$D$'s share $= \frac{13}{60} \times 6000 = 13 \times 100 = ₹ 1300$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ and $B$ enter into a partnership for a year. $A$ contributes ₹ $1500$ and $B$ contributes ₹ $2000$. After $4$ months,they admit $C$ who contributes ₹ $2250$. If $B$ withdraws his contribution after $9$ months,what is the ratio in which they share the profit at the end of the year?
A
$2: 1: 3$
B
$1: 3: 2$
C
$1: 1: 2$
D
$1: 1: 1$

Solution

(D) The profit sharing ratio is determined by the product of the capital invested and the time period for which it was invested.
$1$. $A$ invests ₹ $1500$ for $12$ months: $1500 \times 12 = 18000$.
$2$. $B$ invests ₹ $2000$ for $9$ months: $2000 \times 9 = 18000$.
$3$. $C$ joins after $4$ months and stays for the remaining $8$ months $(12 - 4 = 8)$. $C$ invests ₹ $2250$ for $8$ months: $2250 \times 8 = 18000$.
Therefore,the ratio of their profits is $18000 : 18000 : 18000$,which simplifies to $1: 1: 1$.

EasyMCQ
$A$ and $B$ started a business with initial investments in the ratio of $5:7$. If,after one year,their profits were in the ratio of $1:2$ and the period for $A$'s investment was $7$ months,for how many months did $B$ invest the money?
A
$6$
B
$2.5$
C
$10$
D
$4$

Solution

(C) The ratio of profit is given by the product of investment and time period.
Let the investments of $A$ and $B$ be $5x$ and $7x$ respectively.
Let the time period for $B$'s investment be $y$ months.
Given that the time period for $A$'s investment is $7$ months.
The ratio of their profits is $\frac{P_A}{P_B} = \frac{I_A \times T_A}{I_B \times T_B}$.
Substituting the given values: $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5x \times 7}{7x \times y}$.
Simplifying the equation: $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{y}$.
Therefore,$y = 5 \times 2 = 10$ months.

MediumMCQ
$A$ and $B$ jointly invest ₹ $2100$ and ₹ $3100$ in a firm. $A$ is an active partner,hence he receives $25 \%$ of the profit separately. If their business yields ₹ $1040$ as profit,what will be the profit share for each of them?
A
₹ $415$,₹ $625$
B
₹ $575$,₹ $465$
C
₹ $515$,₹ $525$
D
₹ $560$,₹ $480$

Solution

(B) Total profit in the business $= ₹ 1040$.
$A$ is an active partner and receives $25 \%$ of the total profit separately.
Separate profit for $A = 25 \% \text{ of } ₹ 1040 = \frac{1040 \times 25}{100} = ₹ 260$.
Remaining profit $= ₹ 1040 - ₹ 260 = ₹ 780$.
The remaining profit is divided in the ratio of their capital investments.
Ratio of capitals of $A$ and $B = 2100 : 3100 = 21 : 31$.
Sum of ratio terms $= 21 + 31 = 52$.
$A$'s share from remaining profit $= \frac{21}{52} \times 780 = ₹ 315$.
$B$'s share from remaining profit $= \frac{31}{52} \times 780 = ₹ 465$.
Total profit for $A = ₹ 315 + ₹ 260 = ₹ 575$.
Total profit for $B = ₹ 465$.
Thus,the profit shares for $A$ and $B$ are ₹ $575$ and ₹ $465$ respectively.

DifficultMCQ
Two partners invested ₹ $12500$ and ₹ $8500$ in a business. They decided that $60 \%$ of the profit incurred from the business will be equally divided between them,while the remaining profit will be distributed as interest on their capitals. If one of the partners receives ₹ $300$ more profit than the other,what is the total profit (in ₹) in the business?
A
$3937.50$
B
$4940.50$
C
$3936.50$
D
$4156$

Solution

(A) Let the total profit in the business be $₹ x$.
$60 \%$ of the total profit $= 0.6x = \frac{3x}{5}$.
This amount is divided equally,so each partner receives $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3x}{5} = \frac{3x}{10}$.
The remaining profit is $x - \frac{3x}{5} = \frac{2x}{5}$.
This remaining profit is divided in the ratio of their capitals,which is $12500 : 8500 = 25 : 17$.
The share of the first partner from the remaining profit is $\frac{25}{25+17} \times \frac{2x}{5} = \frac{25}{42} \times \frac{2x}{5} = \frac{5x}{21}$.
The share of the second partner from the remaining profit is $\frac{17}{42} \times \frac{2x}{5} = \frac{17x}{105}$.
Total profit for the first partner $= \frac{3x}{10} + \frac{5x}{21}$.
Total profit for the second partner $= \frac{3x}{10} + \frac{17x}{105}$.
Given that the difference is $₹ 300$:
$(\frac{3x}{10} + \frac{5x}{21}) - (\frac{3x}{10} + \frac{17x}{105}) = 300$.
$\frac{5x}{21} - \frac{17x}{105} = 300$.
$\frac{25x - 17x}{105} = 300 \implies \frac{8x}{105} = 300$.
$x = \frac{300 \times 105}{8} = 37.5 \times 105 = 3937.50$.
Thus,the total profit is $₹ 3937.50$.

Solution

(D) The given ratio of shares is $\frac{7}{2}: \frac{4}{3}: \frac{6}{5}.$ To simplify,multiply by the $LCM$ of $2, 3, 5$ which is $30.$
Ratio $= (\frac{7}{2} \times 30) : (\frac{4}{3} \times 30) : (\frac{6}{5} \times 30) = 105 : 40 : 36.$
Let the initial investments be $105x, 40x,$ and $36x.$
$A$ increases his share by $50\%$ after $4 \text{ months}.$ New share of $A = 105 + (50\% \text{ of } 105) = 105 + 52.5 = 157.5.$
Ratio of equivalent capitals for $12 \text{ months}$:
$A = (105 \times 4) + (157.5 \times 8) = 420 + 1260 = 1680.$
$B = 40 \times 12 = 480.$
$C = 36 \times 12 = 432.$
Ratio $= 1680 : 480 : 432.$ Dividing by $48$,we get $35 : 10 : 9.$
Total parts $= 35 + 10 + 9 = 54.$
$B$'s share $= \frac{10}{54} \times 21600 = 10 \times 400 = ₹ 4000.$

MediumMCQ
$A$ and $B$ invest in a business in the ratio of $3:2$. If $5\%$ of the total profit goes to charity and $A$'s share is $₹ 855$,then the total profit is (in $₹$):
A
$1576$
B
$1537.50$
C
$1500$
D
$1425$

Solution

(C) Let the total profit be $₹ P$.
After donating $5\%$ to charity,the remaining profit is $P - 0.05P = 0.95P$.
$A$'s share is $\frac{3}{3+2} = \frac{3}{5}$ of the remaining profit.
According to the problem,$A$'s share is $₹ 855$.
So,$\frac{3}{5} \times 0.95P = 855$.
$0.57P = 855$.
$P = \frac{855}{0.57} = \frac{85500}{57} = 1500$.
Therefore,the total profit is $₹ 1500$.

MediumMCQ
In a business,$B$ is a sleeping partner and $A$ is a working partner. $A$ invests ₹ $5000$ and $B$ invests ₹ $6000$. $A$ receives $12 \frac{1}{2} \%$ of the profit for managing the business,and the remaining amount is divided in proportion to their capitals. If the total profit is ₹ $880$,what is $A$'s share of the profit (in ₹)?
A
$350$
B
$400$
C
$420$
D
$460$

Solution

(D) $1$. $A$'s share for managing the business $= 12 \frac{1}{2} \% \text{ of } ₹ 880 = \frac{25}{200} \times 880 = ₹ 110$.
$2$. Remaining profit $= ₹ 880 - ₹ 110 = ₹ 770$.
$3$. The ratio of investments of $A$ and $B = 5000 : 6000 = 5 : 6$.
$4$. $A$'s share from the remaining profit $= \frac{5}{5+6} \times 770 = \frac{5}{11} \times 770 = 5 \times 70 = ₹ 350$.
$5$. $A$'s total profit $= ₹ 350 + ₹ 110 = ₹ 460$.

EasyMCQ
$A$ starts a business with a capital of ₹ $1200$. $B$ and $C$ join with some investments after $3$ and $6$ months,respectively. If,at the end of a year,the profit is divided in the ratio of $2:3:5$,what is $B$'s investment (in ₹) in the business?
A
$2400$
B
$1800$
C
$3600$
D
$6000$

Solution

(A) The profit ratio is determined by the product of the investment and the time period for which it was invested.
Let $B$'s investment be $x$ and $C$'s investment be $y$.
$A$ invested ₹ $1200$ for $12$ months.
$B$ invested $x$ for $(12 - 3) = 9$ months.
$C$ invested $y$ for $(12 - 6) = 6$ months.
The ratio of profits is $(1200 \times 12) : (x \times 9) : (y \times 6) = 2 : 3 : 5$.
Comparing $A$ and $B$'s profit ratio:
$\frac{1200 \times 12}{x \times 9} = \frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{14400}{9x} = \frac{2}{3}$
$18x = 14400 \times 3$
$18x = 43200$
$x = \frac{43200}{18} = 2400$.
Thus,$B$'s investment is ₹ $2400$.

MediumMCQ
$A, B$,and $C$ entered into a partnership with ₹ $35,12,420$,₹ $42,22,180$,and ₹ $40,65,400$ respectively. After $2$ years,$A$ withdrew ₹ $11$ Lakhs. At the same time,$C$ invested ₹ $8$ Lakhs more. If at the end of $3$ years,the total profit is ₹ $10,53,000$,what is the share (in ₹) of $C$ in the profit?
A
$283117.80$
B
$379996.20$
C
$399866$
D
$389886$

Solution

(D) The ratio of profit sharing is equal to the ratio of the product of capital and time for each partner.
Investment of $A = (3512420 \times 2) + (3512420 - 1100000) \times 1 = 7024840 + 2412420 = 9437260$.
Investment of $B = 4222180 \times 3 = 12666540$.
Investment of $C = (4065400 \times 2) + (4065400 + 800000) \times 1 = 8130800 + 4865400 = 12996200$.
Total investment ratio $= 9437260 : 12666540 : 12996200 = 943726 : 1266654 : 1299620$.
Sum of ratios $= 943726 + 1266654 + 1299620 = 3510000$.
Share of $C = \frac{1299620}{3510000} \times 1053000 = \frac{129962}{351} \times 1053 = 129962 \times 3 = 389886$.
Thus,the share of $C$ is ₹ $389886$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ and $B$ enter into a partnership. $A$ supplies the whole capital of ₹ $45000$ with the condition that the profits are to be equally distributed,$B$ pays $A$ interest on half of the capital at $10 \%$ per annum,and $B$ receives ₹ $120$ per month for managing the business. If $B$'s total income is $\frac{1}{2}$ of $A$'s total income,what is their total yearly profit (in ₹)?
A
$9180$
B
$7150$
C
$3060$
D
$1440$

Solution

(A) Let the total yearly profit be ₹ $x$.
Salary received by $B$ per year $= 120 \times 12 = ₹ 1440$.
Net profit to be distributed equally $= x - 1440$.
Share of $A$ and $B$ each $= \frac{x - 1440}{2}$.
Interest paid by $B$ to $A$ on half the capital $= \frac{10}{100} \times \frac{45000}{2} = \frac{10}{100} \times 22500 = ₹ 2250$.
$A$'s total income $= \text{Share} + \text{Interest} = \frac{x - 1440}{2} + 2250 = \frac{x - 1440 + 4500}{2} = \frac{x + 3060}{2}$.
$B$'s total income $= \text{Share} + \text{Salary} - \text{Interest} = \frac{x - 1440}{2} + 1440 - 2250 = \frac{x - 1440 - 1620}{2} = \frac{x - 3060}{2}$.
Given that $B$'s income $= \frac{1}{2} \times A$'s income:
$\frac{x - 3060}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{x + 3060}{2}$.
$2(x - 3060) = x + 3060$.
$2x - 6120 = x + 3060$.
$x = 9180$.
Thus,the total yearly profit is ₹ $9180$.

MediumMCQ
$A, B$ and $C$ entered into a partnership by investing ₹ $12000$, ₹ $15000$ and ₹ $18000$ respectively. $A$ is also a working partner and receives $15 \%$ of the annual profit for his work. If $B$ and $C$ received ₹ $8500$ and ₹ $10200$ from the annual profit as their shares, what amount did $A$ receive from the annual profit?
A
$10500$
B
$11500$
C
$11300$
D
$14000$

Solution

(C) The ratio of capital invested by $A, B,$ and $C$ is $12000: 15000: 18000 = 4: 5: 6$.
Let the total annual profit be $P$. $A$ receives $15 \%$ of $P$ as a working partner. The remaining profit $(85 \% \text{ of } P)$ is distributed among $A, B,$ and $C$ in the ratio of their investments $(4: 5: 6)$.
Since $B$ received ₹ $8500$ and the ratio of $B$ to $C$ is $5: 6$, we verify: $\frac{8500}{5} = 1700$. Thus, $C$'s share from the remaining profit is $6 \times 1700 = ₹ 10200$, which matches the given data.
$A$'s share from the remaining profit is $4 \times 1700 = ₹ 6800$.
Let $R$ be the remaining profit: $R = 6800 + 8500 + 10200 = ₹ 25500$.
Since $R$ represents $85 \%$ of the total profit $P$, we have $0.85P = 25500$, so $P = \frac{25500}{0.85} = ₹ 30000$.
$A$'s salary (working partner share) is $15 \%$ of $P = 0.15 \times 30000 = ₹ 4500$.
Total amount received by $A = (\text{Share from profit}) + (\text{Salary}) = 6800 + 4500 = ₹ 11300$.

$A$ and $B$ entered into a partnership investing ₹ $16000$ and ₹ $12000$ respectively. After $3$ months,$A$ withdrew ₹ $5000$ while $B$ invested ₹ $5000$ more. After another $3$ months,$C$ joined the business with a capital of ₹ $21000$. If the total profit after $1$ year is ₹ $26400$,by how much does the share of $B$ exceed that of $C$?
A
$2400$
B
$4800$
C
$3600$
D
$1200$

Solution

(C) The investment ratio of $A : B : C$ is calculated based on the capital invested for the duration of $12$ months.
$A$'s investment: $(16000 \times 3) + (11000 \times 9) = 48000 + 99000 = 147000$.
$B$'s investment: $(12000 \times 3) + (17000 \times 9) = 36000 + 153000 = 189000$.
$C$'s investment: $21000 \times 6 = 126000$ (since $C$ joined after $6$ months total).
Ratio $A : B : C = 147000 : 189000 : 126000 = 49 : 63 : 42$.
Simplifying by dividing by $7$,we get $7 : 9 : 6$.
Total parts = $7 + 9 + 6 = 22$.
Share of $B$ exceeds $C$ by $(9 - 6) = 3$ parts.
Difference = $\frac{3}{22} \times 26400 = 3 \times 1200 = ₹ 3600$.

Three men $A, B$ and $C$ start a business together. They invest ₹ $30000$,₹ $24000$ and ₹ $42000$,respectively,at the beginning. After $4$ months,$B$ withdraws ₹ $6000$ and $C$ withdraws ₹ $10000$. They receive a profit of ₹ $11960$ at the end of the year. What is $B$'s share in the profit (in ₹)?
A
₹ $2700$
B
₹ $2803$
C
₹ $2900$
D
₹ $2785$

Solution

(B) To find the share of profit,we calculate the ratio of the equivalent capital invested by each partner for $1$ year (or $12$ months).
$A$'s total investment: $30000 \times 12 = 360000$.
$B$'s total investment: $(24000 \times 4) + (18000 \times 8) = 96000 + 144000 = 240000$.
$C$'s total investment: $(42000 \times 4) + (32000 \times 8) = 168000 + 256000 = 424000$.
Ratio of investments $= 360000 : 240000 : 424000 = 360 : 240 : 424$.
Dividing by $8$,we get the ratio $= 45 : 30 : 53$.
Sum of ratio parts $= 45 + 30 + 53 = 128$.
$B$'s share $= \frac{30}{128} \times 11960 = 2803.125$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,$B$'s share is ₹ $2803$.

The average score of Rahul,Manish,and Suresh is $63$. Rahul's score is $15$ less than Ajay's and $10$ more than Manish's. If Ajay scored $30$ marks more than the average score of Rahul,Manish,and Suresh,what is the sum of Manish's and Suresh's scores?
A
$120$
B
$111$
C
$117$
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(B) Let the score of Ajay be $x$.
Rahul's score $= x - 15$.
Since Rahul's score is $10$ more than Manish's,Manish's score $= (x - 15) - 10 = x - 25$.
Given that Ajay scored $30$ marks more than the average of Rahul,Manish,and Suresh $(63)$:
$x = 63 + 30 = 93$.
Thus,Ajay's score $= 93$.
Rahul's score $= 93 - 15 = 78$.
Manish's score $= 93 - 25 = 68$.
The total score of Rahul,Manish,and Suresh $= 3 \times 63 = 189$.
Suresh's score $= 189 - (78 + 68) = 189 - 146 = 43$.
The sum of Manish's and Suresh's scores $= 68 + 43 = 111$.

An amount of money is to be divided among $P$,$Q$,and $R$ in the ratio of $3: 5: 7$,respectively. If the amount received by $R$ is ₹ $4,000$ more than the amount received by $Q$,what will be the total amount (in ₹) received by $P$ and $Q$ together?
A
$8000$
B
$12000$
C
$16000$
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(C) Let the common multiplier for the ratio be $x$.
Then,the amounts received by $P$,$Q$,and $R$ are $3x$,$5x$,and $7x$,respectively.
According to the problem,the amount received by $R$ is ₹ $4,000$ more than the amount received by $Q$.
So,$7x - 5x = 4000$.
$2x = 4000$,which gives $x = 2000$.
The total amount received by $P$ and $Q$ together is $3x + 5x = 8x$.
Substituting the value of $x$,we get $8 \times 2000 = ₹ 16000$.
