Arun, Kamal and Vinay invested Rs. 8000, Rs. 4000 and Rs. 8000 respectively in a business. Arun left after six months. If after eight months, there was a gain of Rs. 4005, then what will be the share of Kamal?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Arun : Kamal : Vinay = (8,000 x 6) : (4,000 x 8) : (8,000 x 8)
= 48 : 32 : 64
= 3 : 2 : 4.
 Kamal's share = Rs. |
 |
4005 x | 2 |  |
= Rs. 890. |
| 9 |

@SPOORTHI.
Because they got the profit after 8 months. So, they will consider it fro 8 months.

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, Arun's investment = 8K*6/8.
Therefore, Kamal's investment = 4K*8/8.
Therefore, Vinay's investment = 8K*8/8.
=> Arun : Kamal : Vinay = (8K*6/8) : (4K*8/8) : (8K*8/8).
=> Arun : Kamal : Vinay = (8K*6) : (4K*8) : (8K*8).
=> Arun : Kamal : Vinay = (1*6) : (4*1) : (1*8).
=> Arun : Kamal : Vinay = 3 : 2 : 4.
=> Share of Kamal in Profit at end of 8 months.
= 2*4005/(3+2+4).
= 2*4005/9.
= 2*445.
= Rs. 890.
Thanks.
