A and B start an enterprise together, with A as active partner. A invests Rs. 4000 and Rs. 2000 more after 8 months. B invests Rs. 5000 and withdraws Rs. 2000 after 9 months. Being the active partner, A takes Rs. 100 per month as allowance, from the profit. What is the share of B if the profit for the year is Rs. 6700?
-
- Rs. 3350
- Rs. 3250
- Rs. 2700
- Rs. 2800
Correct Option: C
Ratio of the equivalent capitals of A and B for 1 month
= (4000 × 8 + 6000 × 4) : (5000 × 9 + 3000 × 3)
= (32000 + 24000) : (45000 + 9000)
= 56000 : 54000 = 28 : 27
Sum of the terms of ratio
= 28 + 27 = 55
A is an active partner.
Allowance got by A in 1 year = Rs. 1200
Remaining profit = Rs. (6700 – 1200) = Rs. 5500
| ∴ B’s share = Rs. |  | × 5500 |  | = Rs. 2700 | |
| 55 |
