P : Q : R
= (25 × 1 + 35 × 2) : (35 × 2 : 25 × 1) : (30 × 3)
= 95 : 95 : 90
= 19 : 19: 18
= (25 × 1 + 35 × 2) : (35 × 2 : 25 × 1) : (30 × 3)
= 95 : 95 : 90
= 19 : 19: 18

Given, A initially invests Rs. 25 lakhs and adds another Rs. 10 lakhs after one year, B initially invests Rs. 35 lakhs and withdraws Rs. 10 lakhs after 2 years and C invests Rs. 30 lakhs.
Let's calculate the investment of A over 3 years.
For the first year, A invests Rs. 25 lakhs and for the next two years, he invests Rs. 35 lakhs.
So, the total investment of A = 25 + 35 + 35 = 95 lakhs.
Similarly, let's calculate the investment of B over 3 years.
For the first two years, B invests Rs. 35 lakhs and for the last year, his investment is Rs. 25 lakhs.
So, the total investment of B = 35 + 35 + 25 = 95 lakhs.
The investment of C over 3 years is Rs. 30 lakhs.
Therefore, the ratio of their investments is 95:95:30, which can be simplified to 19:19:6.
Now, let's calculate the profits for 3 years.
Let P be the total profit for 3 years.
For the first year, A gets 1/3 of the profit, B gets 1/3 of the profit and C gets 1/3 of the profit.
For the next two years, A gets 2/5 of the profit, B gets 2/5 of the profit and C gets 1/5 of the profit.
Therefore, the share of profit for A = (1/3)P + (2/5)P = (11/15)P
The share of profit for B = (1/3)P + (2/5)P = (11/15)P
The share of profit for C = (1/3)P + (1/5)P = (8/15)P
Therefore, the ratio of their profits is (11/15):(11/15):(8/15), which can be simplified to 11:11:8.
Hence, option D, None of these, is the correct answer.
Let's calculate the investment of A over 3 years.
For the first year, A invests Rs. 25 lakhs and for the next two years, he invests Rs. 35 lakhs.
So, the total investment of A = 25 + 35 + 35 = 95 lakhs.
Similarly, let's calculate the investment of B over 3 years.
For the first two years, B invests Rs. 35 lakhs and for the last year, his investment is Rs. 25 lakhs.
So, the total investment of B = 35 + 35 + 25 = 95 lakhs.
The investment of C over 3 years is Rs. 30 lakhs.
Therefore, the ratio of their investments is 95:95:30, which can be simplified to 19:19:6.
Now, let's calculate the profits for 3 years.
Let P be the total profit for 3 years.
For the first year, A gets 1/3 of the profit, B gets 1/3 of the profit and C gets 1/3 of the profit.
For the next two years, A gets 2/5 of the profit, B gets 2/5 of the profit and C gets 1/5 of the profit.
Therefore, the share of profit for A = (1/3)P + (2/5)P = (11/15)P
The share of profit for B = (1/3)P + (2/5)P = (11/15)P
The share of profit for C = (1/3)P + (1/5)P = (8/15)P
Therefore, the ratio of their profits is (11/15):(11/15):(8/15), which can be simplified to 11:11:8.
Hence, option D, None of these, is the correct answer.

Aarav Sharma answered |
Let's calculate the profit distribution step by step:
Step 1: Calculate the total investment
- Aman invested Rs. 70,000 for the entire 3-year period.
- Rakhi invested Rs. 1,05,000 for the last 2.5 years.
- Sagar invested Rs. 1,40,000 for the last 1.5 years.
To calculate the total investment, we need to consider the time period for each investment.
- Aman's investment is for the entire 3 years.
- Rakhi's investment is for the last 2.5 years.
- Sagar's investment is for the last 1.5 years.
So, the total investment will be:
Aman's investment = Rs. 70,000 × 3 = Rs. 210,000
Rakhi's investment = Rs. 1,05,000 × 2.5 = Rs. 262,500
Sagar's investment = Rs. 1,40,000 × 1.5 = Rs. 210,000
Total investment = Aman's investment + Rakhi's investment + Sagar's investment
= Rs. 210,000 + Rs. 262,500 + Rs. 210,000
= Rs. 682,500
Step 2: Calculate the profit distribution ratio
The profit distribution ratio is based on the ratio of investments made by Aman, Rakhi, and Sagar.
Aman's share = Aman's investment / Total investment
= Rs. 210,000 / Rs. 682,500
= 7/ 22
Rakhi's share = Rakhi's investment / Total investment
= Rs. 262,500 / Rs. 682,500
= 15 / 44
Sagar's share = Sagar's investment / Total investment
= Rs. 210,000 / Rs. 682,500
= 16 / 45
Therefore, the profit distribution ratio among Aman, Rakhi, and Sagar is 7:15:16.
So, the correct answer is option B) 12:15:16.
Step 1: Calculate the total investment
- Aman invested Rs. 70,000 for the entire 3-year period.
- Rakhi invested Rs. 1,05,000 for the last 2.5 years.
- Sagar invested Rs. 1,40,000 for the last 1.5 years.
To calculate the total investment, we need to consider the time period for each investment.
- Aman's investment is for the entire 3 years.
- Rakhi's investment is for the last 2.5 years.
- Sagar's investment is for the last 1.5 years.
So, the total investment will be:
Aman's investment = Rs. 70,000 × 3 = Rs. 210,000
Rakhi's investment = Rs. 1,05,000 × 2.5 = Rs. 262,500
Sagar's investment = Rs. 1,40,000 × 1.5 = Rs. 210,000
Total investment = Aman's investment + Rakhi's investment + Sagar's investment
= Rs. 210,000 + Rs. 262,500 + Rs. 210,000
= Rs. 682,500
Step 2: Calculate the profit distribution ratio
The profit distribution ratio is based on the ratio of investments made by Aman, Rakhi, and Sagar.
Aman's share = Aman's investment / Total investment
= Rs. 210,000 / Rs. 682,500
= 7/ 22
Rakhi's share = Rakhi's investment / Total investment
= Rs. 262,500 / Rs. 682,500
= 15 / 44
Sagar's share = Sagar's investment / Total investment
= Rs. 210,000 / Rs. 682,500
= 16 / 45
Therefore, the profit distribution ratio among Aman, Rakhi, and Sagar is 7:15:16.
So, the correct answer is option B) 12:15:16.

Let initial investment of A is 3x and B is 5x, then C investment is also 5x, but most important to note in this question is the time duration of investment
Like, A invested for 12 months, B invested for 12 months and C invested for 6 months.
A : B : C = (3x x 12) : (5x x 12) : (5x x 6)
= 36 : 60 : 30
= 6 : 10 : 5.

Given:
Simran invested Rs. 50000
Nanda invested Rs. 80000 after 6 months
To calculate:
Simran's share in the profit
Solution:
Let's calculate the ratio of their profits.
Simran invested for 12 months, whereas Nanda invested for 6 months only.
Simran's investment = Rs. 50000 x 12 = Rs. 600000
Nanda's investment = Rs. 80000 x 6 = Rs. 480000
Ratio of their investments = 600000:480000 = 5:4
Let the total profit be x
Simran's share in the profit = (5/9) x
Now, let's substitute the value of x
Total profit = profit of Simran + profit of Nanda
x = (5/9) x + (4/9) x
Simplifying this equation, we get
(4/9) x = Rs. 10500
Therefore, Simran's share in the profit = (5/9) x (Total profit) = (5/9) x Rs. 10500 = Rs. 5833.33
Hence, the closest option to the calculated answer is option E, Rs. 10500.
Simran invested Rs. 50000
Nanda invested Rs. 80000 after 6 months
To calculate:
Simran's share in the profit
Solution:
Let's calculate the ratio of their profits.
Simran invested for 12 months, whereas Nanda invested for 6 months only.
Simran's investment = Rs. 50000 x 12 = Rs. 600000
Nanda's investment = Rs. 80000 x 6 = Rs. 480000
Ratio of their investments = 600000:480000 = 5:4
Let the total profit be x
Simran's share in the profit = (5/9) x
Now, let's substitute the value of x
Total profit = profit of Simran + profit of Nanda
x = (5/9) x + (4/9) x
Simplifying this equation, we get
(4/9) x = Rs. 10500
Therefore, Simran's share in the profit = (5/9) x (Total profit) = (5/9) x Rs. 10500 = Rs. 5833.33
Hence, the closest option to the calculated answer is option E, Rs. 10500.

Vandana Sarkar answered |
For managing, A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370.
Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030.
Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3)
= 39000 : 42000 : 30000
= 13 : 14 : 10
∴ B's Share
Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030.
Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3)
= 39000 : 42000 : 30000
= 13 : 14 : 10
∴ B's Share

Given:
Subhash's investment = Rs. 25000
Aditya's investment after 6 months = Rs. 15000
Aditya's additional investment after another 6 months = Rs. 15000
Total time = 3 years
Total profit = Rs. 247000
Solution:
Let's calculate the total profit share of both Subhash and Aditya.
Subhash's profit share:
Subhash invested for the entire 3 years. Hence, his share in the profit will be calculated based on his investment.
Subhash's profit share = (25000/50000) * 247000
= Rs. 123500
Aditya's profit share:
Aditya invested Rs. 15000 after 6 months and Rs. 15000 after another 6 months. Hence, his investment will be considered for 2.5 years (from 6 months to 3 years).
Aditya's investment for 2.5 years = (15000/2) * 2.5
= Rs. 18750
Aditya's total investment = Rs. 15000 + Rs. 18750
= Rs. 33750
Aditya's profit share = (33750/50000) * 247000
= Rs. 166950
Therefore, Aditya's share in the profit is Rs. 166950. Option E is the correct answer.
Subhash's investment = Rs. 25000
Aditya's investment after 6 months = Rs. 15000
Aditya's additional investment after another 6 months = Rs. 15000
Total time = 3 years
Total profit = Rs. 247000
Solution:
Let's calculate the total profit share of both Subhash and Aditya.
Subhash's profit share:
Subhash invested for the entire 3 years. Hence, his share in the profit will be calculated based on his investment.
Subhash's profit share = (25000/50000) * 247000
= Rs. 123500
Aditya's profit share:
Aditya invested Rs. 15000 after 6 months and Rs. 15000 after another 6 months. Hence, his investment will be considered for 2.5 years (from 6 months to 3 years).
Aditya's investment for 2.5 years = (15000/2) * 2.5
= Rs. 18750
Aditya's total investment = Rs. 15000 + Rs. 18750
= Rs. 33750
Aditya's profit share = (33750/50000) * 247000
= Rs. 166950
Therefore, Aditya's share in the profit is Rs. 166950. Option E is the correct answer.

Given:
Investment by Dilip = Rs. 2700
Investment by Ram = Rs. 8100
Investment by Avtar = Rs. 7200
Profit earned by Ram = Rs. 3600
To find: Total profit earned by Dilip, Ram, and Avtar
Let's assume the total profit earned by Dilip, Ram, and Avtar is P.
As the profit is distributed in proportion to their investments, we can calculate the ratio of their investments.
Ratio of investments:
Dilip : Ram : Avtar = 2700 : 8100 : 7200
Simplifying the ratio, we get:
Dilip : Ram : Avtar = 1 : 3 : 2
Now, let's calculate the profit received by each person.
Profit received by Dilip = (Dilip's investment / Total investment) * Total profit
Profit received by Dilip = (2700 / (2700 + 8100 + 7200)) * P
Profit received by Dilip = (2700 / 18000) * P
Profit received by Ram = (Ram's investment / Total investment) * Total profit
Profit received by Ram = (8100 / (2700 + 8100 + 7200)) * P
Profit received by Ram = (8100 / 18000) * P
Profit received by Avtar = (Avtar's investment / Total investment) * Total profit
Profit received by Avtar = (7200 / (2700 + 8100 + 7200)) * P
Profit received by Avtar = (7200 / 18000) * P
Given that the profit received by Ram is Rs. 3600, we can equate the profit received by Ram to Rs. 3600 and solve for P.
(8100 / 18000) * P = 3600
8100P = 3600 * 18000
P = (3600 * 18000) / 8100
P = 8000
Therefore, the total profit earned by Dilip, Ram, and Avtar is Rs. 8000.
Hence, the correct answer is option A) Rs. 8000.
Investment by Dilip = Rs. 2700
Investment by Ram = Rs. 8100
Investment by Avtar = Rs. 7200
Profit earned by Ram = Rs. 3600
To find: Total profit earned by Dilip, Ram, and Avtar
Let's assume the total profit earned by Dilip, Ram, and Avtar is P.
As the profit is distributed in proportion to their investments, we can calculate the ratio of their investments.
Ratio of investments:
Dilip : Ram : Avtar = 2700 : 8100 : 7200
Simplifying the ratio, we get:
Dilip : Ram : Avtar = 1 : 3 : 2
Now, let's calculate the profit received by each person.
Profit received by Dilip = (Dilip's investment / Total investment) * Total profit
Profit received by Dilip = (2700 / (2700 + 8100 + 7200)) * P
Profit received by Dilip = (2700 / 18000) * P
Profit received by Ram = (Ram's investment / Total investment) * Total profit
Profit received by Ram = (8100 / (2700 + 8100 + 7200)) * P
Profit received by Ram = (8100 / 18000) * P
Profit received by Avtar = (Avtar's investment / Total investment) * Total profit
Profit received by Avtar = (7200 / (2700 + 8100 + 7200)) * P
Profit received by Avtar = (7200 / 18000) * P
Given that the profit received by Ram is Rs. 3600, we can equate the profit received by Ram to Rs. 3600 and solve for P.
(8100 / 18000) * P = 3600
8100P = 3600 * 18000
P = (3600 * 18000) / 8100
P = 8000
Therefore, the total profit earned by Dilip, Ram, and Avtar is Rs. 8000.
Hence, the correct answer is option A) Rs. 8000.

Let the initial investments of A, B and C be Rs. 5x, Rs. 6x and Rs. 8x respectively
Then, A : B : C
[5x × 12 + (160% of 5x)] : (6x × 24) : (8x × 12 + 4x × 12)
= 156x : 144x : 144x
= 13 : 12 : 12
Then, A : B : C

Given:
- X and Y are partners in a business.
- They invest in the ratio 5:6.
- X withdraws his capital at the end of 8 months.
- They receive profits in the ratio 5:9.
To find:
- The duration for which Y's investment was used.
Solution:
Let's assume that X invested 5x and Y invested 6x.
Investment Ratio:
X's investment = 5x
Y's investment = 6x
Profit Sharing Ratio:
X's profit share = 5
Y's profit share = 9
Calculation:
Since X withdraws his capital after 8 months, his investment is used for 8 months. Therefore, the ratio of their investments for the remaining duration is:
X's investment = 5x (for 8 months)
Y's investment = 6x (for the remaining months)
The profit sharing ratio is given as 5:9, which means that the ratio of their investments is equal to the ratio of their profit shares. So, we can set up the following equation:
5x/8 = 5/9
Cross-multiplying:
45x = 40
Dividing by 45:
x = 40/45
x = 8/9
Calculating Y's investment:
Y's investment = 6x
Y's investment = 6 * (8/9)
Y's investment = 48/9
Y's investment = 16/3
Calculating the duration for which Y's investment was used:
Since X's investment was used for 8 months, Y's investment was used for the remaining duration:
Total duration - X's duration = Y's duration
12 months - 8 months = 4 months
Therefore, Y's investment was used for 4 months.
Conclusion:
The duration for which Y's investment was used is 4 months, which is equivalent to option A.
- X and Y are partners in a business.
- They invest in the ratio 5:6.
- X withdraws his capital at the end of 8 months.
- They receive profits in the ratio 5:9.
To find:
- The duration for which Y's investment was used.
Solution:
Let's assume that X invested 5x and Y invested 6x.
Investment Ratio:
X's investment = 5x
Y's investment = 6x
Profit Sharing Ratio:
X's profit share = 5
Y's profit share = 9
Calculation:
Since X withdraws his capital after 8 months, his investment is used for 8 months. Therefore, the ratio of their investments for the remaining duration is:
X's investment = 5x (for 8 months)
Y's investment = 6x (for the remaining months)
The profit sharing ratio is given as 5:9, which means that the ratio of their investments is equal to the ratio of their profit shares. So, we can set up the following equation:
5x/8 = 5/9
Cross-multiplying:
45x = 40
Dividing by 45:
x = 40/45
x = 8/9
Calculating Y's investment:
Y's investment = 6x
Y's investment = 6 * (8/9)
Y's investment = 48/9
Y's investment = 16/3
Calculating the duration for which Y's investment was used:
Since X's investment was used for 8 months, Y's investment was used for the remaining duration:
Total duration - X's duration = Y's duration
12 months - 8 months = 4 months
Therefore, Y's investment was used for 4 months.
Conclusion:
The duration for which Y's investment was used is 4 months, which is equivalent to option A.

Given:
- Investments ratio of A, B, C = 1:3:5
- After 4 months:
- A invests the same amount as before
- B and C withdraw half of their investments
To find: Ratio of their profits at the end of the year
Solution:
Let's assume the initial investments of A, B, and C as x, 3x, and 5x respectively.
Investments:
- Initial investments:
- A = x
- B = 3x
- C = 5x
- After 4 months:
- A invests the same amount as before = x
- B withdraws half of the investment = 3x/2
- C withdraws half of the investment = 5x/2
Effective Investments:
- After 4 months:
- A = x + x = 2x
- B = 3x - 3x/2 = 3x/2
- C = 5x - 5x/2 = 5x/2
Profit Sharing:
- The profit of a business is usually shared in proportion to the investments made by the partners.
- The ratio of their profits will be equal to the ratio of their effective investments.
Ratio of Profits:
- Ratio of their profits at the end of the year:
- A : B : C = 2x : 3x/2 : 5x/2
Simplifying the Ratio:
- To simplify the ratio, we multiply each part by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which is 2.
- A : B : C = 2x * 2 : 3x/2 * 2 : 5x/2 * 2
- A : B : C = 4x : 3x : 5x
- A : B : C = 4 : 3 : 5

Given:
- P and Q started a business investing in the ratio 5:6
- R joined them after six months and invested an amount equal to that of Q's investment
- At the end of the year, a 20% profit was earned, which was equal to Rs. 98000
To find:
- The amount invested by R
Let's assume:
- The initial investments of P and Q are 5x and 6x respectively
- The amount invested by R is also 6x (equal to Q's investment)
Calculating the total investment:
- P's investment for the entire year = 5x * 12 = 60x
- Q's investment for the entire year = 6x * 12 = 72x
- R's investment for the entire year = 6x * 6 = 36x (as R joined after six months)
Total investment for the year = P's investment + Q's investment + R's investment
= 60x + 72x + 36x
= 168x
Calculating the profit earned:
- Profit = 20% of the total investment
= (20/100) * 168x
= 33.6x
Given that the profit earned is equal to Rs. 98000:
33.6x = 98000
Solving for x:
x = 98000 / 33.6
x ≈ 2916.67
Calculating the amount invested by R:
R's investment = 6x
= 6 * 2916.67
≈ Rs. 17500
Therefore, the amount invested by R is approximately Rs. 175000.

Let C = x.
Then, B = x + 5000 and A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000
So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000
⇒ 3x = 36000
⇒ x = 12000
A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12
So A's Share
Then, B = x + 5000 and A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000
So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000
⇒ 3x = 36000
⇒ x = 12000
A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12
So A's Share

Problem:
Rahul and Bharti are partners in a business. Rahul contributes 1/4th capital for 15 months and Bharti received 2/3 of profit. For how long Bharti money was used.
Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the ratio of the capital contributed by Rahul and Bharti, and then use this ratio to find the duration for which Bharti's money was used.
Step 1: Calculate the ratio of capital contributed by Rahul and Bharti
- Let's assume that Rahul contributed R amount of capital.
- According to the problem, Bharti contributed 1/4th of the total capital and the remaining 3/4th capital was contributed by Rahul.
- Therefore, Bharti's capital = (1/4) * Total capital = (1/4) * (3/4) * R = 3/16 * R
Step 2: Calculate the duration for which Bharti's money was used
- Let's assume that Bharti's money was used for 'x' months.
- According to the problem, Bharti received 2/3 of the profit.
- Therefore, Bharti's share of the profit = (2/3) * Total profit
- Since profit is directly proportional to the duration for which the money is used, we can write:
Bharti's share of the profit / Rahul's share of the profit = Duration for which Bharti's money was used / Duration for which Rahul's money was used
(2/3) / (1/3) = x / 15
2/1 = x / 15
x = 30/1 = 30 months
Therefore, Bharti's money was used for 30 months. However, the options provided in the question do not include 30 months. So, we need to find the closest option to 30 months.
Step 3: Find the closest option to 30 months
- The options provided are:
a) 8 months
b) 10 months
c) 11 months
d) 17 months
- The closest option to 30 months is 10 months, which is option b.
Therefore, the correct answer is option b) 10 months.
Rahul and Bharti are partners in a business. Rahul contributes 1/4th capital for 15 months and Bharti received 2/3 of profit. For how long Bharti money was used.
Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the ratio of the capital contributed by Rahul and Bharti, and then use this ratio to find the duration for which Bharti's money was used.
Step 1: Calculate the ratio of capital contributed by Rahul and Bharti
- Let's assume that Rahul contributed R amount of capital.
- According to the problem, Bharti contributed 1/4th of the total capital and the remaining 3/4th capital was contributed by Rahul.
- Therefore, Bharti's capital = (1/4) * Total capital = (1/4) * (3/4) * R = 3/16 * R
Step 2: Calculate the duration for which Bharti's money was used
- Let's assume that Bharti's money was used for 'x' months.
- According to the problem, Bharti received 2/3 of the profit.
- Therefore, Bharti's share of the profit = (2/3) * Total profit
- Since profit is directly proportional to the duration for which the money is used, we can write:
Bharti's share of the profit / Rahul's share of the profit = Duration for which Bharti's money was used / Duration for which Rahul's money was used
(2/3) / (1/3) = x / 15
2/1 = x / 15
x = 30/1 = 30 months
Therefore, Bharti's money was used for 30 months. However, the options provided in the question do not include 30 months. So, we need to find the closest option to 30 months.
Step 3: Find the closest option to 30 months
- The options provided are:
a) 8 months
b) 10 months
c) 11 months
d) 17 months
- The closest option to 30 months is 10 months, which is option b.
Therefore, the correct answer is option b) 10 months.

Note: If you have clear concept of ratio and proportion chapter then it will really easy for you to solve partnership problems.
P : Q = 85000 : 15000 = 17 : 3
Important to note there that if both have invested for different period of times then we had to multiply with number of months to get the desired ratio.
