Q:
A and B are partners in a business. A contributes 1/4 of the capital for 15 months and B received
2/3 of the profit. For how long B's money was used ?
A) 3 months B) 6 months
C) 10 months D) 12 months
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 10 months
Explanation:
Let the total profit be Rs. z. Then,
B's share = Rs. 2z/3, A's share = Rs. ( z - 2z/3 ) = Rs. z/3.
A : B = z/3 : 2z/3 = 1:2
Let the total capital be Rs, X and suppose B's money was used for x months. Then.
(1(x) / 4 * 15) / (3x) / 4 * y) = 1/2 <=> y = (15 * 2 / 3) = 10 .
Thus, B's money was used for 10 months.

Q:
A began a business with Rs. 85,000. He was joined afterwards by B with Ks. 42,500. For how

A) 4 months B) 5 months
C) 6 months D) 8 months
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: D) 8 months
Explanation:
Suppose B joined for x months . Then, ( 85000 * 12 )/(42500 * x) = 3. or x = (85000 * 12) /

(42500 * 3) = 8.
So, B joined for 8 months.

Q:
A, B and C enter into a partnership and their shares are in the ratio 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4. After 2

them. What is B's share ?
A) 144 B) 169
C) 225 D) 339
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 144
Explanation:
Ratio of initial investments = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 = 6 : 4 : 3.
Let their initial investments be 6x, 2x and 3x respectively.
A : B : C = (6x * 2 + 3x * 10) : (4x * 12) : (3x * 12) = 42 : 48 : 36 = 7 : 8 : 6.

B's share = Rs. (378 * 8/21) = Rs. 144.
Q:
Two partners investede Rs. 1250 and Rs. 850 respectively in a business. They distributed 60% of
the profit equally and decide to distribute the remaining 40% as the ratio of their capitals. If one
partner received Rs. 30 more than the other, find the total profit?
Answer
Let the total profit be Rs.x
60% of the profit =
from this part of the profit each gets = Rs.
40% of the profit =
Now, this amount of Rs. has been divided in the ratio of capitals 1250 : 850 = 25 :17
Share on first capital =
Share on second capital =
Total money received by 1st investor =

Total money received by 2nd investor =
x = 393.75

receive ____
A) Rs.700 B) Rs.800
C) Rs.900 D) Rs.1000
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) Rs.900
Explanation:
Let 4A = 6B = 1OC = k. Then, A = k/4, B = k/6, and C =k/10 .
A : B :C = k/4 : k/6 : k/10 = 15 : 10 : 6.
Hence, C's share (4650 * 6/31) = Rs, 900.

then their total profit is :
A) 22000 B) 28000
C) 32000 D) 36000
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: B) 28000

Suppose B invested Rs. x for y months. Then, A invested Rs. 3x for 2y months.
So, A : B = (3x * 2y) : (x * y) = 6xy : xy = 6 : 1.
B's profit : Total profit = 1 : 7.
Let the total profit be Rs. x Then, 1/7 = 4000/x or x = 28000.
