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 |  |

Hi sujana, 2years in the sense 24 months. C only join after six months. So 18 months. B ratio is 3. Sum of ratio is 10. So we have devide 3/10 then multiply with overall profit.

@Durai.
(20,000 x 24):(15,000 x 24):(20000 x 18)
= 480000:360000:360000
= 48:36:36
= 4:3:3 ...........(Dividing with 12)
Is it clear ?

Why did you divide it by 12? I know that you will only divide it by their sum. If I'm not mistaken?
