  • Question
  • A and B started a business by investing ? 35000 and ? 20000, respectively. After 5 months B left the business and C joined the business with a sum of ? 15000. The profit earned at the end of year is ? 84125. What is the share of B in profit?


  • Options
  • A. ? 14133
  • B. ? 15000
  • C. ? 13460
  • D. Couldn't be determined

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 13460 

    Explanation

    Ratio of equivalent capitals of A, B and C = (35000 x 12) : (20000 x 5) : (15000 x 7)
    = 35 x 12 : 20 x 5 : 15 x 7
    = 84 : 20 : 21
    Let A's share = 84N
    B's share = 20N
    C's share = 21N
    According to the question,
    84N + 20N + 21N = 84125
    ? 125N = 84125
    ? N = 84125/125 = 673
    ? B's share = 20N = (20 x 673) = ? 13460
