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?
Rs. 7500
Rs. 9000
Rs. 9500
Rs. 10,000
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.

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.
