In a business, A and B invested a total amount of Rs. 36,000, with A investing five times B. After eight months, C invested Rs. 40,000 and A withdrew Rs. 10,000. If A’s share after a year of business was Rs. 16,000, then what is C’s share?1). Rs. 3,6002). Rs. 8,0003). Rs. 14,7804). Rs. 17,900

Answer»

Let B’s INITIAL investment be x.

∴ A’s initial investment is 5x.

5x + x = RS. 36,000

∴ x = Rs. 6,000

∴ 5x = Rs. 30,000

Ratio of their share in profit = Ratio of their investments

⇒ 30000 × 8 + 20000 × 4 ? 6000 × 12 ? 40000 × 4 = Rs. 1,60,000

Thus, ratio of their investments = 320000 ? 72000 ? 160000 = 40 ? 9 ? 20

Profit earned after a year = x

A’s share = 16000 = (40/69) × x

∴ x = Rs. 27,600

∴ C’s share = (20/69) × 27600 = 8000

∴ C’s share is Rs. 8,000.
