Q:

In a business, A and C invested amounts in the ratio 2:1, whereas the ratio between amounts invested by A and B was 3:2. If Rs. 1,57,300 was their profit, how much amount did B receive ?

A) 48400	B) 54200
C) 64000	D) 74000

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 48400

Explanation:

A : B = 3 : 2 => B : A = 2 : 3 = 4 : 6 and A : C = 2 : 1 = 6 : 3.

So, B : A : C = 4 : 6 : 3 or A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 3.

B's share = Rs. (157300 x 4/13 ) = Rs. 48400.

So, B joined for 8 months.

Q:

If 4 (A's capital) = 6 (B's capital) = 10 (C's capital), then out of a profit of Rs. 4650, C will receive ____

A) Rs.700	B) Rs.800

Q:

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

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1500

Explanation:

Let the total profit be Rs. 100.

After paying to charity, A's share = (95*3/5) = Rs. 57.

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

If A's share is Rs. 855, total profit = (100/57*855) = 1500.
