Question

A, B and C start a business each investing Rs.20000. After 5 months A withdrew Rs.5000, B withdrew Rs.4000 and C invests Rs.6000 more. At the end of the year, a total profit of Rs.69900 was recorded. Find the share of each.

Answer 1

Ratio of the capitals of A, B and C

$=20000\times 5+15000\times 7:20000\times 5+16000\times 7:20000\times 5+26000\times 7$

$=205000:212000:282000=205:212:282$

$\therefore$ A's share = Rs. $(69900\times \frac{205}{699})=Rs.20500$

B's share = Rs. $(69900\times \frac{215}{699})=Rs.21200$

C's share = Rs. $(69900\times \frac{282}{699})=Rs.28200$
