divided among them. What is Bs share ?
A.Rs.420
B.Rs. 300
C.Rs.400
D.Rs.350
Answer
Answer- C(Rs.400)
Explanation : Ratio of investments =1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 , LCM of 2,
3, 4 = 12 ,multiply ratios with 12 we get 6 : 4 : 3 , so,initial
investment be 6x, 2x and 3x so, we can write: A : B :C
=(6x X 2 + 3x X 10 ) : (4x X 12) :(3x X 12) = 7:8:6
Bs share= (8/21) x 1050 = 400
2. A started a business with Rs. 21,000 and is joined
afterwars by B with Rs. 36,000. After how many months
did B join if the profits at the end of the year are divided
equally?
A.8 months
B.2 months
C.5 months
D.7 months
Answer

joined after 5 months
3. Anju and Bimal are partners in a business. Anju

contributes 1 / 4 of the capital for 15 months and Bimal
received 2 / 3 of the profit, for how long Bimals money
was used ?
A.5 months
B.3months
C.8 months
D.10 months
Answer
Answer- D (10 months)

Explanation- Let total profit is x
Then Bimals share in profit= (2/3)x
so anjus share in profit= x- (2/3)x =x/3
so,we get ratios of profit of Anju :Bimal :: 1:2
Let total capital invested be Rs P and Anjus money was used for
15 months while Bimals money was used for b months .
then, (1/4)P X 15 divide by (3/4)P x b = 1/2 [ Capital x time
=profit] so,we get b=10
Bimals money was used for 10 months
4. In a business P and R invested amounts in the ratio 2 : 1,
whereas the ratio between amounts invested by P and Q
was 3 : 2 . If Rs. 2,236 was their profit, how much amount
did Q receive ?
A.Rs.650
B.Rs.688
c.Rs.588
D.Rs.490
Answer
Answer- B(Rs.688 )
Solution : P : Q = 3 : 2 , P : R = 2 : 1 [given] Q : P = 2 : 3
[reverse], Q : P = 4 : 6 [multiply by 2] Now, P : R = 2 : 1

P : R = 6 : 3 [multiply by 3] P : Q =6 : 4 [after x3] , So Q : P :
R=4:6:3
or, P : Q : R = 6 : 4 : 3
Qs share= 4/13 x 2236=Rs.688
5. A, B and C rent a land. A puts 10 tractors for 7 months, B

must C pay as his share of rent?
A.45000
B.50000
C.57000
D.64000
Answer
Answer A (45000)
Explanation A : B : C = 10 x 7 : 12 x 5 : 15 x 3
= 70 : 60 : 45
= 14 : 12 : 9.
Cs rent = Rs. [175000 x 9/35] = Rs. 45000.
6. P and Q started a partnership business investing some
amount in the ratio of 3:5. R joined them after six months

A.5 : 8 : 10
B.6 : 10 : 5
C.6 : 4 : 10
D.10 : 6 : 3
Answer
Answer B (6 : 10 : 5)
Explanation Let the initial investments of P and Q be 3a amd

B.28,000
C.40,000
D.45,000
Answer
Answer- B(28,000)
Explanation:- let Bs investment= X then As investment= 3X
lets tim for B = t then,As time= 2t
A:B
3X x 3t : X x t
6:1
Bs share= 1/7 x total = 4000
total=28,000
8. A and B entered into a partnership investing Rs. 16000

pramods share in Rs.?
A.Rs.1800
B.Rs.2200
C.Rs.1200
D.Rs.1500
Answer
Answer:- C (1200)
Explanation:let total profit =x
ashoks share in profit is (1/10)x
remaining profit = x= (1/10)x= (9/10)x
pramods share= 1/3 x (9/10)x = (3/10 )x
Prakashs share= 2/3 x (9/10)x = (6/10)x
ashok prakash= (6/10)x -(1/10)x = (5/10)x
5/10 x = 2,000 so, x= 4000
pramods share= (3/10) x 4000=1200
10.
P and Q invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of
the total profit goes to charity and Ps share is Rs. 855,

the total profit is:
A.Rs. 1435
B.Rs. 1500
C.Rs. 1538
D.Rs. 1580
Answer
Answer- B (Rs.1500)
Explanation:
Let the total profit be Rs. 100.
After paying to charity, As share = Rs. 95 x 3/5 = Rs. 57.
If As share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.
If As share Rs. 855, total profit =(100/57) x 855 = 1500.

1. A and B starts a business and invests Rs. 20,000 and Rs.

30,000 respectively. B is an active partner and he gets
25% of the profit separately. If their business yields them
a total of Rs. 30,000 as profit, what is the share of B at
the end of a year?
A) Rs 18,000
B) Rs 13,500
C) Rs 11,500
D) Rs 21,000
E) None of these
Answer & Explanation
D) Rs 21,000
Explanation:
Ratio in which they get profits is 20,000 : 30,000 = 2 : 3
B gets 25% of 30,000 = 7,500
Profit left which is to be divided in ratio 2 : 3 = 30,000 7,500 =
22,500
Now B gets [3/(2+3)] * 22,500 = 13,500
So total share of B = 7500+13500
2. In a business A and C invested amounts in the ratio 3:2,
whereas A and B invested amounts in the ratio 4:1. If the
total profit at the end of a year is Rs 35,650, find the
share of A.
A) Rs 18,600
B) Rs 12,600
C) Rs 16,200
D) Rs 13,600
E) Rs 20,700
A) Rs 18,600
Explanation:
B/A = 1/4, A/C = 3/2
So B : A : C = 1*3 : 4*3 : 4*2 = 3 : 12 : 8
Share of A = [12/(3+12+8)] * 35,650
3. 3 partners started a business. The capital invested by B
was two-third that of A and also it was thrice the
investment of C. Find the share of B out of a total profit of
Rs 3,33,200.
A) Rs 1,02,200
B) Rs 2,05,600
C) Rs 67,300
D) Rs 1,17,600
E) Rs 1,27,600
D) Rs 1,17,600
Explanation:
Let investment of B = Rs x, then of A = (3/2)*x, and of C =
(1/3)*x
So their profit sharing ratio A : B : C =
(3/2)*x : x : (1/3)*x = 9 : 6 : 2
Share of B = [6/(9+6+2)] * 333,200
4. A starts a business with Rs 20,000 and after 4 months B
also joins with some capital. After a year, the profit is
divided between them in the ratio 5 : 3. How much did B

B) Rs 18,000
C) Rs 15,050
D) Rs 12,750
E) Rs 15,800
B) Rs 18,000
Explanation:
Let B invests Rs x, then ratio of their profits
20000*12 : x*8 = 30,000 : x
So 30,000/x = 5/3
Solve, x = 18,000
5. A, B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5 .

After 2 months, A increases his share 20% and B by 10%.
If the total profit at the end of one year is Rs 1,90,500,
what is the share of C at the end of year?
A) Rs 45,000
B) Rs 90,000
C) Rs 58,500
D) Rs 79,600
E) Rs 65,900
B) Rs 90,000
Explanation:
Let amounts invested be 2x, 3x, 5x resp.
Then ratio of profits =
A:B:C
2x*2 + (120/100)*2x*10 : 3x*2 + (110/100)*3x*10 : 5x*12
28x : 39x : 60x
Cs share = [60/(28+39+60)] * 190500

B) Rs 5480
C) Rs 5560
D) Rs 4460
E) Rs 4640
Answer & Solution
C) Rs 5560
Explanation:
8000*4 + 7600*8 : 9000*4 + 9400*8
116 : 139
Share of B = 139/(116+139) * 10200 = 5560
8. Out of a total profit of Rs 12,000, A received Rs 8000 as
his share. If A invested Rs 20000 for 6 months while B

B) Rs 7,000
C) Rs 6,500
D) Rs 5,000
E) None of these
D) Rs 5,000
Explanation:
Profits ratio = 8000 : 4000 = 2 : 1
So
20,000*6 : x*12 = 2 : 1
10000/x = 2/1
x = 5,000
9. The profit received at the end of a year is divided among
A, B and C in the ratio 5:4:7 respectively. The share of A is
Rs 2300 more than that of B. What is the amount that C

1/4 * 1/4 : 1/5 * 1/2 : 11/20 * 1
1/16 : 1/10 : 11/20
5 : 8 : 44
Share of C in profit = 44/(5+8+44) * 7410 = 5720

26 : 31 : 36
So C gets = (36/93) * 46,500
4. The investment of A is twice as that of B and thrice as that
of C. B invested for twice the months than A and thrice the
months than C. Who will earn the highest profit?
A) A
B) B
C) C
D) Cannot be determined
E) None of these
E) None of these
Explanation:
If A invested Rs x, then B Rs (x/2) and C invests Rs (x/3).
Let B invested for y months, then A for (y/2)months, and C for
(y/3) months
So ratio of profit sharesA:B:C
x*(y/2) : (x/2)*(y) : (x/3)*(y/3)

1/2 : 1/2 : 1/9 = 9 : 9 : 2
Both A and B gets equal and highest profits.
5. Out of the total investment, A invested 1/4th , B invested
1/3rd of the remaining and C the remaining. B earned Rs
10,000 after a year. Find the yearly profit of all.
A) Rs 45,000
B) Rs 40,000
C) Rs 58,500
D) Rs 49,600
E) Rs 65,900
B) Rs 40,000
Explanation:
Let total investment = Rs x
Then As = (1/4)*x
Remaining = 3/4th of x
So Bs investment = (1/3)*(3x/4) = x/4
And Cs = x (x/4 + x/4) = x/2
so ratio of profits = x/4 : x/4 : x/2 = 1 : 1 : 2
so 1/4 * x = 10,000
x = 40,000
6. A and B invested Rs 20,000 and Rs 25,000 in a business
for 1 year and 8 months respectively. A being a working
partner earned 25/3% profit out of a total profit of Rs
60,000 and after this the profit was divided in the ratio of
their investments. What is the share of B in the annual
profit?
A) Rs 30,000
B) Rs 26,000
C) Rs 25,600
D) Rs 27,800
E) Rs 25,000
E) Rs 25,000
Explanation:
As share : Bs share
20,000*12 : 25,000*8
6:5
A got its salary as = [(25/3)/100] * 60,000 = 5000
Remaining profit = 60,000 5000 = 55,000
So B gets = 5/11 * 55000
7. Out of a total profit of Rs 19,600, B received Rs 10,000 as
his share. If A invested Rs 8,000 for 6 months while B
invested his amount for 5 months, then what is the
amount invested by B?
A) Rs 6,000
B) Rs 8,500
C) Rs 8,500
D) Rs 10,000
E) None of these
D) Rs 10,000
Explanation:
Profits ratio = 8000*6 : x*5 = 9600 : x
So
[x/(9600+x)] * 19,600 = 10,000
Solve, x = 10,000
8. A, B and C received their profit shares in the raio 4 : 6 : 9

respectively. A and B received a total of Rs 60,000. What
is the amount that C and A got together?
A) Rs 66,000
B) Rs 90,000
C) Rs 54,000
D) Rs 78,000
E) Rs 59,140
D) Rs 78,000
Explanation:
Their shares are 4x, 6x, 9x resp.
4x + 6x = 60,000
x = 6,000
So C got 9*6000 = 54,000 and A got 4*6000 = 24000
So total = 78,000
9. A, B and C start a business and their investments are in
the ratio 4 : 3 : 6. Both A and B starts the business and C
joins them after 6 months. It was decided that C will get a
monthly salary of Rs 500 from the annual profits. Cs total
salary came out to be 10% of the annual profit after a
year. What is the share of A in the total profits?
A) Rs 9,500
B) Rs 11,500
C) Rs 10,800
D) Rs 10,000
E) Rs 12,800
Answer & Solution
C) Rs 10,800
Explanation:
After a year C gets salary = 500*6 = Rs 3,000 [Since C was for

6 months in the business with each month earning 500] So 10%
of total profit after a year = 3,000
Total profit = Rs 30,000
A invested for 12 months, B for 12, and C for 6 months
Ratio of profit shares =
4*12 : 3*12 : 6*6 = 4 : 3 : 3
Profit left after deducting salary of C = 30,000 3,000 = 27,000
So share of A = [4/(4+3+3)] * 27,000
10.
A, B and C invested Rs 1000 for 8 months, Rs 1200 for
6 months and Rs 1500 for some months. Out of a total

profit of Rs 5,675 as profit, A received Rs 2000. For how
much months did C invested?
A) 7
B) 4
C) 5
D) 6
E) None of these
C) 5
Explanation:
1000*8 : 1200*6 : 1500*x
80 : 72 : 15x
So 80/(80+72+15x) * 5675 = 2000
Solve, x = 5
1. Three friends A, B, C invested in a business in the ratio of
4:5:6. After 6 months C withdraw half of his capital. If the
sum invested by A is 36000, then the profit earned by C
out of the total profit of 60000.

Ratio in which the profit will divide- 36000*12 : 45000*2 :
54000*6 + 27000*6
i.e 4:5:9. So C share = (9/18)*60000 = 30000
2. Two persons A and B invested in a business with 115000
and 75000 rupees respectively. They agree that 40% of
the profit should be divided equally among them and rest
is divided between them according to their investment. If

Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Here capital is not the same.
Suresh invested 20000 for initial 6 months and 15000 for the next 6
months. Hence his term of ratio
=(200006+150006)=(200006+150006)
Kiran invested Rs.30000 for 4 months and Rs.50000 for next 4 months.
Hence his term of ratio
=(300004+500004)=(300004+500004)
Suresh : Kiran
=(200006+150006)=(200006+150006) :(300004+500004):
(300004+500004)
=(206+156):(304+504)=(203+153):
(302:502)=105:160=21:32=(206+156):(304+504)=(203+153):
(302:502)=105:160=21:32

A. 75000
B. 70000
C. 72000
D. 78000
Hide Answer

Notebook
| Discuss

Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Ratio of the profits of Kamal and Kiran
=2500012:600008=2512:608=53:122=5:42=5:8=250001
2:600008=2512:608=53:122=5:42=5:8
Let the total profit =x=x

Then Kamal received 10x100=x1010x100=x10 as commission for
managing the business.

Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Assume that the total profit is xx
Since 5% goes for charity, 95% of xx will be divided between A and B in
the ratio 3:23:2
Therefore, A's profit =95x10035=95x10035
Given that A's share is Rs. 855. Therefore,
95x10035=85595x100=85553=2855=1425 x=142510095=
