Aman started a business investing Rs. 70,000. Rakhi joined him after six months with an amount of Rs.. 1,05,000 and Sagar joined them with Rs. 1.4 lakhs after another six months. The amount of profit earned should be distributed in what ratio among Aman, Rakhi and Sagar respectively, 3 years after Aman started the business?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Aman : Rakhi : Sagar = (70,000 x 36) : (1,05,000 x 30) : (1,40,000 x 24) = 12 : 15 : 16.

When investments of all the partners are 'for the same time', the gain or loss or liability is distributed among the partners in the ratio of their investments.
Let's assume that K is not variable, and K = 1,000.
Therefore, AMAN's investment = 70K*36/36.
Therefore, AMAN's investment = 105K*30/36.
Therefore, AMAN's investment = 140K*24/36.
=> A : B : C = (70K*36/36) : (105K*30/36) : (140K*24/36).
=> A : B : C = (70K*36) : (105K*30) : (140K*24).
=> A : B : C = (2*6) : (3*5) : (4*4).
=> A : B : C = 12:15:16.
Thanks.

70k*36:105k*30:140k*24.
This will be equal to 252:315:336.
Divide all three by any one of the three say 252. We get 1/1:5/4:4/3.
Take LCM of 1, 4, 3 which is 12 then 12*1:5/4*12:4/3*12 = 12:15:16.

70000 : 105000 : 140000.
It becomes 2:3:4 and now multiply these by their duration of investment.
And here it becomes 12:15:16.

@Talha, Prakash, Gokul Nath, Archana.
(70,000 x 36):(1,05,000 x 30):(1,40,000 x 24).
2520000:3150000:3360000.
Cancel common zeros so 252:315:336.
Divide by 21, answer is 12:15:16.
We divide it by 21 to reduce to small numbers.

Contribution Ratio: 70000:105000:140000 divided by 35000 then we will get 2:3:4.
Ratio Of Months 36:30:24 divided by 6 then we will get 6:5:4.
Now simple multiply them i.e 5.
2*6 = 12.
3*5 = 15.
4*4 = 16.
Answer is 12:15:16.
