Answer»

P, Q and R started a business by INVESTING the money in the RATIO 4 ? 3 ? 5. P left the business after 6 MONTHS and R left after 8 months;

∴ Profit sharing ratio = (4 × 6) ? (3 × 12) ? (5 × 8) = 12 ? 18 ? 20

Since profit share by R is Rs. 40000;

∴ Total profit = 40000 × 50/20 = Rs. 100000

Since profit at the end of the year is 5/9th of total investment done;

∴ Total investment = 100000 × 9/5 = Rs. 180000

∴ Investment done by P = 180000 × 4/12 = Rs. 60000
