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?
Rs. 890
Rs. 1335
Rs. 1602
Rs. 1780
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 it is for 8 months and not for 12 months?

How to appear the value 4005. I think it was replaced it 4000. Am I right? Can anyone please clarify my doubt?

@SPOORTHI.

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

Gain or profit is same bro that's by we are considered 4005 as profit.

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?
