Question

A starts a business with an investment of Rs 3500. Five months later B joins A as a partner. After a year, the profits are divided in the ratio of 2:3. How much did B contribute?

• A. Rs 7,000
• B. Rs 11,000
• C. Rs 9,000
• D. Rs 8,500

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs 9,000

We have, $C_1\times t_1=3500\times 12=42000and{C}_2\times t_2=x\times 7=7x$
$Then,\frac{ProfitforA}{ProfitforB}=\frac{C_1\times t_1}{C_2\times t_2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3}=\frac{42000}{7x}orx=\frac{42000\times 3}{2\times 7}=Rs9000$
