Simran started a software business by investing Rs. 50,000. After six months, Nanda joined her with a capital of Rs. 80,000. After 3 years, they earned a profit of Rs. 24,500. What was Simran's share in the profit?
Rs. 9,423
Rs. 10,250
Rs. 12,500
Rs. 10,500
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Simran : Nanda = (50000 x 36) : (80000 x 30) = 3 : 4.

Simran's share = Rs. 24500 x 3 = Rs. 10,500.

If rs150 be divided among A, B, C in such a way that A gets 2/3 of B and B gets 1/4 of what C gets then their share are respectively.

Can anyone answer this?

@Kiransai.

Have to understand Nanda joined after six months means, this 6 month will be deducted from the total time period. And from the starting of the company simran was in the business for 3 years. That means simran was in the business for 36 months and nanda joined after 6 month means (36-6). Which is 30 months? I hope this will help you.

It's confusing, first, Simran started company, after 6 months, Nanda joined, and after three year, they earned profits. Why is not counting month of Sirman (6+ (12*3) =42 and Nanda (12*3) =36?

Please explain.
