    Two friends, Ramesh and Suresh, invested Rs. 42,000 and Rs.

    39,000 in a venture. After 3 months, Mahesh joined them with an investment of Rs. 36,000. If the total profit at year-end was Rs. 18,000, what was Mahesh’s share?
    A Rs.1,232 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.6,255 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.9,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.4,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Ratio = (42000 × 12) : (39000 × 12) : (36000 × 9)

    = 504000 : 468000 : 324000

    = 14 : 13 : 9

    Total = 36 parts

    Mahesh’s share = 18000 × (9 / 36) = Rs. 4,500
