ExplanationRatio of profit of Rohith and Puneeth = 3600 x 12 : 2400 x P
= 3600 x 12/2400P = 2/1
=> P = 9
So, Puneeth joined the business after (12 - P) = 12 - 9 = 3 months.

Correct Answer: Rs. 500
Explanation:
Let the amounts to be received by P, Q and R be p, q and r.
p + q + r = 1200
p = 1/2 (q + r) => 2p = q + r
Adding 'p' both sides, 3p = p + q + r = 1200
=> p = Rs.400
q = 1/3 (p + r) => 3q = p + r
Adding 'q' both sides, 4q = p + q + r = 1200
=> q = Rs.300
r = 1200 - (p + q) => r = Rs.500.
Correct Answer: Rs. 240
Explanation:
The ratio of A & B investments = (3x8 + 2x4):(4x8 + 5x4)
=> 8:13
=> 8/21 x 630 = 240.
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
Correct Answer: Rs 400
Explanation:
Let C = x.
Then B = x/2
and A = x/4
A:B:C = 1:2:4.
C's share Rs.[(4/7)*700) = 400
Correct Answer: 48400
Explanation:
A : B = 3 : 2 => B : A = 2 : 3 = 4 : 6 and A : C = 2 : 1 = 6 : 3.
So, B : A : C = 4 : 6 : 3 or A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 3.
B's share = Rs. (157300 x 4/13 ) = Rs. 48400.
Correct Answer: Rs.46400
Explanation:
Interest received by L from K = 8% of half of Rs.40,000
Amount received by L per annum for being a working partner = 1200 x 12 = Rs.14,400
Let 'A' be the part of remaing profit that 'L' receives as his share.
Total income of 'K' = only his share from the reamaing profit
= 'A', as both share equally.
Given income of L = Twice the income of K
--> (1600 + 14400 + A ) = 2A
--> A= Rs.16000
Thus total profit = 2A + Rs.14,400= 2(16000) + 14400
= 32000 +14400 = Rs.46,400.
Correct Answer: 3600
Explanation:
A : B : C = (16000 * 3 + 11000 * 9) : (12000 * 3 + 17000 * 9) : (21000 * 6)
= 147 : 189 : 126
= 7 : 9 ; 6.
Difference of B and C's shares = Rs. ( 26400 * 9/22 - 26400 * 6/22 ) = Rs. 3600.
Correct Answer: 10000 and 15000
Explanation:
As both A and B invest the same amounts, the ratio of their profits at the end of the year is equal to the ratio of the time periods for which they have invested.
Thus, the required ratio of their profits = A : B = 8 : 12 = 2 : 3.
Hence, share of A in the total profit = 2 x 25000/5 = Rs.10000
Similarly, share of B in the total profit = 3 x 25000/5 = Rs.15000
Correct Answer: 3/11
Explanation:
Let Veena paid x,
so Akshitha paid 2x/3 , and Lasya paid 2x,
So total bill paid is given by
x+(2x/3) +2x = 1, we get
i.e. x = 3/11
Correct Answer: 4360
Explanation:
Ratio of shares of A,B,C = (24 x 4) : (10 x 6) : (56 x 5)
= 96 : 60 : 280.
Let total rent be Rs. x. Then, A's share =
Hence total rent of the field is Rs. 4360.
