Question

Kamal started a business investing $\text{Rs.}9000.$ After five months, Sameer joined with a capital of $\text{Rs.}8000.$ If at the end of the year, they earn a profit of $\text{Rs.}4100,$ then what will be the share of Sameer in the profit?

• A. $\text{Rs.}2380$
• B. $\text{Rs.}1400$
• C. $\text{Rs.}1600$
• D. $\text{Rs.}2280$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\text{Rs.}1400$

Kamal invested $\text{Rs.}9000$ for $12$ months and Sameer invested $\text{Rs.}8000$ for $7$ months.
So, Kamal $:$ Sameer
$=(9000\times 12):(8000\times 7)$
$=27:14$
Now, share of Sameer in the profit
$=4100\times \frac{14}{41}$
$=\text{Rs.}1400$
