Mohan and Suresh entered into a partnership investing Rs.10000 and Rs....
Given:
Investment of Mohan = Rs. 10000
Investment of Suresh = Rs. 8000
Investment of Udhay = Rs. 12000 (after 3 months)
Total investment = Rs. 10000 + Rs. 8000 + Rs. 12000 = Rs. 30000
Profit earned in 6 months = Rs. 7200
Calculation:
Let's first calculate the profits for each partner separately.
Mohan's profit = (10000/30000) * (7200/6) = Rs. 2400
Suresh's profit = (8000/30000) * (7200/6) = Rs. 1920
Udhay's profit = (12000/30000) * (7200/3) = Rs. 2880
Total profit = Rs. 2400 + Rs. 1920 + Rs. 2880 = Rs. 7200
Now, we need to find Suresh's share in the total profit.
Suresh's share = (8000/30000) * Rs. 7200 = Rs. 1920
But, we need to find Suresh's share in a half yearly profit. So, we need to double the profit.
Suresh's share in a half yearly profit = Rs. 1920 * 2 = Rs. 3840
But, the options given do not match with the calculated answer. So, we need to check if there is any mistake in the calculation.
We can see that the mistake is in Udhay's profit calculation. The profit should be calculated for 3 months instead of 6 months.
Udhay's profit = (12000/30000) * (7200/2) = Rs. 2400
Now, we can calculate Suresh's share in a half yearly profit.
Suresh's share in a half yearly profit = (8000/30000) * Rs. 7200 + (8000/30000) * Rs. 2400 = Rs. 2400 + Rs. 640 = Rs. 3040
Therefore, the correct answer is option D. Rs. 2400.
