    John and David began a business investing Rs. 50,000 and

    Rs. 40,000 respectively. Six months later, Emma joined with Rs. 30,000. If the yearly profit was Rs. 36,000, how much did Emma receive?
    A Rs.4,232.15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.6,255.15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.9,346.15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.5,142.86 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Ratio = (50000 × 12) : (40000 × 12) : (30000 × 6)

    = 600000 : 480000 : 180000

    = 10 : 8 : 3

    Total = 21 parts

    Emma’s share = 36000 × (3 / 21) = Rs. 5,142.86
