  • Question
  • A and B started a business by investing ? 20000 and ? 25000, respectively. After 4 months B left and C joined by investing ? 15000. At the end of the year, there was a profit of ? 23000 What is C's share?


  • Options
  • A. ? 8000
  • B. ? 9000
  • C. ? 6000
  • D. ? 12000

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 6000 

    Explanation

    A's share : B's share : C's share
    = (20000 x 12) : (25000 x 4) : (15000 x 8)
    = 240000 : 100000 : 120000
    = 24 : 10 : 12 = 12 : 5 : 6
    Let A's share = 12N
    B's share = 5N
    C's share = 6N

    According to the question.
    12N + 5N + 6N = 23000
    ? 23N = 23000
    ? N = 23000/23 = 1000
    ? C's share = 6N = 6 x 1000 = ? 6000
