Question

    A and B start a business with investments of ₹50,000 and ₹40,000, respectively. After 6 months, C joins with an investment of ₹60,000. At the end of the year, the profit is ₹75,000. What is B’s share of the profit?

    A ₹20,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ₹22,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹18,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹25,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A’s investment for 12 months = 50,000 × 12 = 600,000. B’s investment for 12 months = 40,000 × 12 = 480,000. C’s investment for 6 months = 60,000 × 6 = 360,000. Total = 600,000 + 480,000 + 360,000 = 1,440,000. B’s share = (480,000 / 1,440,000) × 75,000 = ₹25,000.
