Question

Veena, Meena and Teena started a business by investing Rs 7000, Rs 7500 and Rs 6500 respectively for 4 months. After 4 months Veena and Teena added same amount as before while Teena invested Rs 7000 for 8 months. If after this the profit earned was Rs 44,800, find the share of Teena.

Answer 1

Ratio of shares of Veena : Meena : Teena is,

$\Rightarrow 7000\times 12:7500\times 12:6500\times 4+7000\times 8$

$\Rightarrow 42:45:41$

the total profit is $44800$ Rs.

thus profit earned by Teena is,

$\Rightarrow \frac{41}{42+45+41}\times 44800$

$\Rightarrow \frac{41}{128}\times 44800$

$\Rightarrow 14350$ Rs.

Profit earned by Teena is $14350$ Rs.
