C.Rs. 20000

D.Rs. 24000

E.None of these

Explanation

Answer: C

The share of A, B and C,

= > [1 * 12] : [2 * 12] : [2 * 8]

2. Questions

A, B and C started a business with the investment of Rs.4000,

Rs.3000 and Rs.2000 respectively. At the end of the year, the profit
received by B and C together is Rs.1500 more than the profit
received by A. What is the total profit of the business?

A.Rs.12400

B.Rs.13500

C.Rs.12600

D.Rs.11700

E.None of these

Explanation

Answer: B

Profit ratio = 4000 * 12:3000 * 12:2000 * 12

= 4:3:2

5x – 4x = 1500

x = 1500

Total profit = 9x = 1500 * 9 = 13500

3. Questions
A and B started a business with the investment of Rs.3000 and
Rs.5000 respectively and the investment period of A and B is x
months and (x + 4) months respectively. If the total profit of the
business is Rs.2500 and A’s share in the profit is Rs.625, then find
the value of x?

A.3

B.4

C.5

D.6

E.None of these

Explanation

Answer: C

B’s profit share = 2500 – 625 = 1875

(3000 * x)/(5000 * (x + 4)) = 625/1875

(3000 * x)/(5000 * (x + 4)) = 1/3

5000x + 20000 = 9000x

4000x = 20000

x = 5 months

4. Questions
A, B and C started a business and the ratio of the investment of A

= > [12000 * 5 + 15000 * 7] : [15000 * 12] : [18000 * 8 + 15000 * 4]

= > [60000 + 105000] : [180000] : [144000 + 60000]

= > 165000 : 180000 : 204000

= > 55 : 60 : 68

183’s = 73200

1’s = 400

The share of Q = 60’s = Rs. 24000

= 2x: (2x + 1000): 2x

1000/(6x + 1000) = 1000/5200

6x + 1000 = 5200

6x = 4200

x = 700
