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. $3:5:5$
• C. $6:10:5$
• D. Data inadequate

Answer 1

The correct option is C $6:10:5$

Let the initial investments of $A$ and $B$ be $3x$ and $5x$.
$A:B:C=(3x\times 12):(5x\times 12):(5x\times 6)=36:60:30=6:10:5$.
