A, B, C started a business with their investments in the ratio 1:3 :5. After 4 months, A invested the same amount as before and B as well as C withdrew half of their investments. The ratio of their profits at the end of the year is :

 A) 1 : 2 : 3 B) 3 : 4 : 15 C) 3 : 5 : 10 D) 5 : 6 : 10

Explanation:

Let their initial investments be x, 3x and 5x respectively. Then,

$\inline \fn_jvn A:B:C=(x\times 4+2x\times 8):(3x\times 4+\frac{3x}{2}\times 8):(5x\times 4+\frac{5x}{2}\times 8)$

20x : 24x : 40x = 5 : 6 : 10

A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and A's share is Rs. 855, the total profit is :

 A) 500 B) 1000 C) 1500 D) 2000

Explanation:

Let the total profit be Rs. 100.

After paying to charity, A's share  = $\inline (95\times \frac{3}{5})$ = Rs. 57.

If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.

If A's share is Rs. 855, total profit  = $\inline (\frac{100}{57}\times 855)$ = 1500.

A and B are partners in a business. A contributes 1/4 of the capital for 15 months and B received 2/3 of the profit. For how long B's money was used ?

 A) 3 months B) 6 months C) 10 months D) 12 months

Explanation:

Let the total profit be Rs. z. Then,

B's share = Rs. 2z/3,  A's share = Rs. ( z - 2z/3 ) = Rs. z/3.

A : B = z/3 : 2z/3 = 1:2

Let the total capital be Rs, X and suppose B's money was used for x months. Then.

(1(x) / 4 * 15) / (3x) / 4 * y) = 1/2 <=> y = (15 * 2 / 3) = 10 .

Thus, B's money was used for 10 months.

Suppose B joined for x months . Then,  ( 85000 * 12 )/(42500 * x) = 3. or x = (85000 * 12) / (42500 * 3) = 8.

So, B joined for 8 months.
