Aptitude - Partnership - Discussion

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.

Profit comes after 8 months and Arun left in 6 six months then why should here it is considered that Arun still has a share in profit. Why Arun's profit is not divided in between Kamal and Vinay.

How comes 2/9?

Why haven't we taken the ratio as 3 : 4 : 8?

Arun : Kamal : Vinay.

= 4000*6 : 4000*8 : 8000*8.

= 24 : 32 : 64.

= 3 : 4 : 8.

How can we solve it further, when there is no common factor among the three of these. Kindly let me know. My answer is coming out to be:

Kamal's Share: 4/15 * 4005 = Rs. 1068 /-.

@Shruti you have taken wrong entries. Check it out. There is 8000*6: 4000*8: 8000*8.

What is 2/9 here?

3+2+4=9 total of the share of Aaru, Kamal and Vinay..
2 is share of kamal..

we did 2/9 to find out kamal's share in the earned profit..

hope it helps u to understand..

What is 4000*8 here ?

Hello syam the share of kamal is 4000 in eight monts so 4000 is multipiled by 8 also otherwise.

But arun left after 6 month, is this event don't affect the result, please clarify it.
