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

In this why did you take 24,000 profit, instead of taking 24,500 profit?

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?
