A, B and C jointly thought of engaging themselves in a business venture. It was agreed that A would invest Rs. 6500 for 6 months, B, Rs. 8400 for 5 months and C, Rs. 10,000 for 3 months. A wants to be the working member for which, he was to receive 5% of the profits. The profit earned was Rs. 7400. Calculate the share of B in the profit.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
For managing, A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370.
Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030.
Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3)
= 39000 : 42000 : 30000
= 13 : 14 : 10
 B's share = Rs. |
 |
7030 x | 14 |  |
= Rs. 2660. |
| 37 |

Why 6500 is multiplied by 6 and als 8400 with 5 and 10000 with 3 ?
Money is not invested every month but it is invested once.
Then why it is multiplied with 6, 5 and 3?

@ guptha
13x3=39
14x3= 42
10x3=30
multiply the ratio with 3
13x3=39
14x3= 42
10x3=30
multiply the ratio with 3

Total profit is 7400
a get 5% so (5/100)*7400 =370
so a got 370
in toal balene we substrct the a's profit
7400-370=7030
Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3)
= 39000 : 42000 : 30000
= 13 : 14 : 10
B's share = Rs. 7030 x 14 = Rs. 2660.
