In a partnership business, B’s capital was half of A’s.

In a partnership business, B’s capital was half of A’s. If after 8 months, B withdrew half of his capital and after 2 months more A withdrew (1/4)th of his capital, then the profit ratio of A and B will be

B’s capital = Rs. x
∴ A’s capital = Rs. 2x.
Ratio of equivalent capitals of A and B for 1 month

=		2x × 10 +	3x	× 2		:		x × 8 +	x	× 4
			2						2

= (20x + 3x ) : (8x + 2x )
= 23x : 10x = 23 : 10
