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. |

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 /-.
Arun : Kamal : Vinay.
= 4000*6 : 4000*8 : 8000*8.
= 24 : 32 : 64.
= 3 : 4 : 8.

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

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.

Why is Arun's share counted while computing Kamal's profit. Specially when the profit has come after 8 months. Shouldn't Arun now be considered a defunct or non-existant partner and the only two partners that matter now be Kamal and Vinay?
