Q:

A, B, C subscribe Rs. 50,000 for a business, A Subscribes Rs. 4000 more than B and B Rs. 5000 more thanC. Out of a total profit  of Rs. 35,000, A receives :

A) 14700 B) 15000
C) 12000 D) 13500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 14700

Explanation:

Let C = x. Then, B = x + 5000  and A =  x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000.

So,  x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000  <=>  3x = 36000  <=>

x = 12000.

A : B : C =  21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12.

A's share = Rs. (35000 * 21/50 ) = Rs. 14,700.

Q:

A began a business with Rs. 85,000. He was joined afterwards by B with Ks. 42,500. For how much period does B join, if the profits at the end of the year are divided in the ratio of 3 : 1 ?

A) 4 months B) 5 months
C) 6 months D) 8 months
