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 |

A received = 5% of profit for Rs:7,400
= 5/100 * 7,400
= RS:370.
Balance=7,4000-370=Rs:7030
Ratio of their investment= (A's share*month):(B's share*month):(C's share*month)
= (6500*6):(8400*5):(10000*3)
= 39000:42000:30000
= 39000/30000:42000/30000:30000/30000
= 13:14:10.
A = 13, B = 14,C = 10.
So, total = 13 + 14 + 10 = 37.
Therefore B's share=(14/100*37)
= Rs. 2660
= 5/100 * 7,400
= RS:370.
Balance=7,4000-370=Rs:7030
Ratio of their investment= (A's share*month):(B's share*month):(C's share*month)
= (6500*6):(8400*5):(10000*3)
= 39000:42000:30000
= 39000/30000:42000/30000:30000/30000
= 13:14:10.
A = 13, B = 14,C = 10.
So, total = 13 + 14 + 10 = 37.
Therefore B's share=(14/100*37)
= Rs. 2660

A receive = 5%of profit 7400
5/100 = 0.05
0.05 × 7400 = 370
A received = 370
Balance = 7400 - 370 = 7030
Ratio of there investment = (6500×6):(8400×5):(10000×3)
39000:42000:30000,
39000/30000 : 42000/30000.
: 30000/30000
= 13 : 14 : 10.
A = 13, b = 14, c = 10,
Total = 13 + 14 + 10 = 37.
Therefore B share = [7030 × 14/7] = 2660 answer is option B.
5/100 = 0.05
0.05 × 7400 = 370
A received = 370
Balance = 7400 - 370 = 7030
Ratio of there investment = (6500×6):(8400×5):(10000×3)
39000:42000:30000,
39000/30000 : 42000/30000.
: 30000/30000
= 13 : 14 : 10.
A = 13, b = 14, c = 10,
Total = 13 + 14 + 10 = 37.
Therefore B share = [7030 × 14/7] = 2660 answer is option B.
