Question
A & B invest Rs. 1,16,000 & 1,44,000 respectively. B invests for 6 months. At the end of the year, B?s share is Rs. 9000, find the overall profit?
Options
A. Rs. 23,500
B. Rs. 19,780
C. Rs. 21,700
D. Rs. 20,050

Correct Answer

Rs. 23,500

Explanation

Given A & B in partnership

A Invests 116000 for 12 months

=> A's share = 116000 x 12 = 13,92,000

B Invests for 6 months

=> B's share = 144000 x 6 = 8,64,000

Their Ratio = 1392 : 864 = 29 : 18

Let the Annual profit = P

Given B's share = Rs. 9000

=> 18/47 x P = 9000

=> P = 9000 x 47/18

=> P = 23,500

Hence, Overall profit = P = Rs. 23,500
