Question

A, B and C enter into partnership A invests 3 times as much as B invests and B invests two-third of what C invests At the end of the year the profit earned is Rs 6600 What is the share of B?

• A. Rs 3600
• B. Rs 1800
• C. Rs 1200
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs 1200

Let C invest x Rs.
Then according to the question B invest=$\frac{2x}{3}Rs.$
A invest=$\frac{2x}{3}\times 3=2xRs.$
Then $x+\frac{2x}{3}+2x=6600$
$\Rightarrow 3x+2x+6x=19800$
$\Rightarrow 11x=19800$
$\Rightarrow x=1800$
Then B's share=$\frac{2}{3}\times 1800=1200Rs.$
