Question

A and B started a partnership business investing some amount in the ratio of 3 : 5. C joined then 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. 4 : 5 : 6
• C. 6 : 10 : 5
• D. 7 : 8 : 4

Answer 1

The correct option is C

6 : 10 : 5

Let the initial investments of A and B be 3 and 5.

$A:B:C=(3\times 12):(5\times 12):(5x\times 6)=36:60:30=6:10:5.$
