X and Y entered into partnership with Rs. 7000 and Rs. 6000 respective...
Amount put by X for first 3 months = Rs. 7000
⇒ Amount put by X for 4th to 6th month = 7000 - (2/7) × 7000 = 7000 - 2000 = Rs. 5000
⇒ Amount put by X for 7th to 12th month = 5000 + (3/5) × 2000 = Rs. 6200
⇒ Amount put by X for whole year = (7000 × 3 + 5000 × 3 + 6200 × 6) = Rs. 73200
Amount put by Y for whole year = 6000 × 12 = Rs. 72000
⇒ Ratio in which the profit would be shared = 732 : 720 = 61 : 60
The profit at the end of the year is Rs. 726
∴ Share of X = (61/121) × 726 = Rs. 366

X and Y entered into partnership with Rs. 7000 and Rs. 6000 respective...
Given:
X and Y entered into a partnership with Rs. 7000 and Rs. 6000 respectively.
X withdrew 2/7 of his stock after 3 months.
After 3 months, X puts back 3/5 of what he had withdrawn.
The profit at the end of the year is Rs. 726.
To find:
How much of the profit should X receive?
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate the ratio of investment:
The ratio of investment is given by the amount invested by X and Y, i.e. Rs. 7000 and Rs. 6000 respectively.
Hence, the ratio of investment is 7000:6000, which can be simplified to 7:6.
Step 2: Calculate the share of profit:
Since X and Y contributed to the capital for different durations, we need to calculate their respective shares of profit separately.
Step 2.1: Calculate X's share of profit:
Let's consider X's investment for the entire year. X invested Rs. 7000 for the entire year, so his share of profit for the entire year would be (7000/13000) * 726.
Simplifying this, X's share of profit for the entire year is (7/13) * 726 = Rs. 393.23 (approx.)
Step 2.2: Calculate Y's share of profit:
Y invested Rs. 6000 for the entire year, so his share of profit for the entire year would be (6000/13000) * 726.
Simplifying this, Y's share of profit for the entire year is (6/13) * 726 = Rs. 332.31 (approx.)
Step 3: Calculate X's withdrawal and re-investment:
X withdrew 2/7 of his stock after 3 months, which is (2/7) * 7000 = Rs. 2000.
After 3 months, X puts back 3/5 of what he had withdrawn, which is (3/5) * 2000 = Rs. 1200.
Step 4: Adjust X's share of profit:
Since X withdrew a portion of his investment for 3 months, his share of profit needs to be adjusted accordingly.
X's share of profit for the 3 months when he had withdrawn his stock would be (3/12) * X's share of profit for the entire year = (3/12) * 393.23 = Rs. 98.31 (approx.)
Step 5: Final calculation:
X's final share of profit would be his share of profit for the entire year (Rs. 393.23) minus the adjusted share of profit for the 3 months (Rs. 98.31) plus the amount he put back in (Rs. 1200).
Therefore, X's final share of profit = Rs. (393.23 - 98.31 + 1200) = Rs. 1494.92 (approx.)
Answer:
X should receive Rs. 1494.92 (approx.) of the profit.
Option B is the correct answer.
