Question

$A$ starts business with Rs. $3500$ and after $5$ months, $B$ joins with $A$ as his partner. After a year, the profit is divided in the ratio $2:3$. What is $B$'s contribution in the capital?

• A. Rs. $7500$
• B. Rs. $8000$
• C. Rs. $8500$
• D. Rs. $9000$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs. $9000$

Let $B$'s capital be Rs. $x$.
Then, $(\frac{3500\times 12}{7x}=\frac{2}{3})$
$\Rightarrow 14x=126000$
$\Rightarrow x=9000$.
