Question

Ninad, Vikas and Manav enter into a partnership. Ninad invests some amount at the beginning. Vikas invests double the amount after 6 months and Manav invests thrice the amount invested by Ninad after 8 months. They earn a profit of Rs 45000 at the end of the year. What is Manav's share in the profit?

• A. RS 25000
• B. Rs 15000
• C. Rs 12000
• D. Rs 9000
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs 15000

Let the investment of Ninad be Rs x
$\therefore$ Investment of Vikas = Rs 2x
and investment of Manav = Rs 3x
$\therefore$ Ratio of their investments
$=x\times 12:2x\times 6:3x\times 4$
= 12x : 12x : 12x = 1:1:1
$\therefore$ Manav's share in the profit
$=\frac{1}{3}\times 45000=Rs15000$
