10.
A and B started a business in partnership investing Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 15,000 respectively. After six months, C joined them with Rs. 20,000. What will be B's share in total profit of Rs. 25,000 earned at the end of 2 years from the starting of the business?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
A : B : C = (20,000 x 24) : (15,000 x 24) : (20,000 x 18) = 4 : 3 : 3.
 B's share = Rs. |
 |
25000 x | 3 |  |
= Rs. 7,500. |

Given:
2 years = 24 months.
C joins only after 6 months
First 6 months - A and B will be working.
Remaining 18 months - A, B, C will be working [here 18 = 24 - 6].
Thus, ratios of A, B, C.
(20,000 x 24) : (15,000 x 24) : (20,000 : 18) = 4 : 3 : 3 [Total = 4 + 3 + 3 = 10].
B's share out of 25,000 which is the total profit = (3/10) * (25,000),
= 7500.
Hope this helps.

Why we can not solve this problem by this method?
profit = 25000 years = 2.
Profit ratio for first 6 months was = 4:3 and after 6 months = 4;3;4
First 6 months profit = 25000/24 x 6 = 6250, A's share = 2572 B's share is 3/7 = 2678.
25000-6250 = 18750.
Now B's share is 3/11 = 5113.
So, B will get 2678+5113 = 7791.
profit = 25000 years = 2.

There is no any clue in question that their investment is monthly. So how can we multiply the investment by number of months?

Ratios are 4 : 3 : 3.
We can say that A's share = 4 out of 4 + 3 + 3,
Similarly, B's share = 3 out of 4 + 3 + 3,
And C's share = 3 out of 4 + 3 + 3 or 3 out of 10 or 3/10.
