Aptitude - Partnership - Discussion

@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.

Hi Navneet Sama,

Take a look at the below lines:

Simran invested Rs. 50,000 for 36 months (3 years).

Nanda invested Rs. 80,000 for 30 months only (bcz he joined 6 months later, so 36 - 6 = 30 months).

Therefore, the ratio of their contribution is

= (Simran's Invested Amount X No. of Months) : (Nanda's Invested Amount x No. of months)

= (50,000 x 36) : (80,000 x 30)

= 18,00,000 : 24,00,000

= 18 : 24

= 3 : 4 (I hope this is what you expected).

Now, Total contribution is (3 + 4) = 7.

This means that
1. Simran's contribution is (3 out of 7) = 3/7.
2. Nanda's contribution is (4 out of 7) = 4/7.

If profit is Rs.7 means, Simran will take Rs. 3 and nanda will take Rs. 4.

If profit is Rs. 24,500, then Simran will take 24,000 x 3/7 = Rs. 10,500.

How 80000*30 comes?

Thanks everyone for explaining the answer in detail.

Is Simran investing the given money every month of 36 months then * 36 or Simran is investing that money for 3 years only then for 36 months rs 50, 000?

Thanks all for your explanation.

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.

P, Q, R enter into a partnership & their share is in the ratio 1/2:1/3:1/4, after two months, P withdraws half of the capitals & after 10 months, a profit of Rs 378 is divided among them. What is Q's share?

Please share why the investment has taken 12 months whereas the profit counted after 10 months.

A, B and C enter into partnership by making investments in the ratio 3 : 5: 7. After a year, C invests another Rs 337600 while A withdraws Rs 45600. The ratio of investments then changes to 24 : 59 : 167. How much does A invest initially?

Can anyone solve this?

Bhagatsingh it is 36 months because 12 months make a year and the year given was 3 years.

So, 3 * 12 months = 36 months.
