    Ratio of capital in the beginning = 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 = 20 : 15 : 12.
    Ratio of investment for the whole year = (20 x 4 + 10 x 8) : (15 x 12) : (12 x 12) = 40 : 45 : 36

    Correct Option: B

    Ratio of capital in the beginning = 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 = 20 : 15 : 12.
    Ratio of investment for the whole year = (20 x 4 + 10 x 8) : (15 x 12) : (12 x 12) = 40 : 45 : 36
    ∴ A's share = Rs. (847 x 40)/121 = Rs. 280

    Suppose A invested Rs. N.
    Then A : B : C = 12N : 6 x (2N) : 4 x (3N) = 1 : 1 : 1
    ∴ C's share = Rs. (18000) x 1/3

    Correct Option: C

    Suppose A invested Rs. N.
    Then A : B : C = 12N : 6 x (2N) : 4 x (3N) = 1 : 1 : 1
    ∴ C's share = Rs. (18000) x 1/3 = Rs. 6000

    A : B : C = 2000 x 12 : 3000 x 24 : 4000 x 24 = 1 : 3 : 4
    A's share = Rs. ( 3200 x 1 / 8) = Rs. 400

    Correct Option: D

    A : B : C = 2000 x 12 : 3000 x 24 : 4000 x 24 = 1 : 3 : 4
    A's share = Rs. 3200 x (1/8) = Rs. 400


  1. A and B enter into partnership investing Rs. 12,000 and Rs. 16,000 respectively. After 8 months C joins them with a capital of Rs. 15,000. The share of C in a profit of Rs. 45600 after 2 years will be ?

    Ratio of shares = 12000 x 24 : 16000 x 24 : 15000 x 16 = 6 : 8 : 5
    ∴ C's share = Rs. 45600 x (5/19) = Rs. 12000

    Correct Option: D

    Ratio of shares = 12000 x 24 : 16000 x 24 : 15000 x 16 = 6 : 8 : 5
    ∴ C's share = Rs. 45600 x (5/19) = Rs. 12000



  1. Monaj got Rs.6000 as his share out of a total profit of Rs. 9,000 which he and Ramesh earned at the end of one year. If Monoj invested Rs. 20,000 for 6 months. Whereas Ramesh invested his amount for the whole year, what was the amount invested by Ramesh ?

    Let the amount invested by Ramesh = Rs. N
    Then, 20000 x 6 : 12N = 6000 : 3000

    Correct Option: D

    Let the amount invested by Ramesh = Rs. N
    Then, 20000 x 6 : 12N = 6000 : 3000
    ⇒ 120000/12N = 2/1
    ∴ N = 5000
