A : B.
3500 : X.....INVESTMENT.
12 : 7.....MONTHS INVESTED.
2 : 3.....PROFITS SHARED.
So the ratio of investment should be equal to the profits shared.
3500*12 : 7*x :: 2:3.
x = 9000.
3500 : X.....INVESTMENT.
12 : 7.....MONTHS INVESTED.
2 : 3.....PROFITS SHARED.
So the ratio of investment should be equal to the profits shared.
3500*12 : 7*x :: 2:3.
x = 9000.

If "B" is invested equal contribution of "A" in this session this type question will not be raised. Then it will arise question as on profit as like how much profit get the A&B ?

But B joined A after 5 months, which means that A had completed his 10 months of investment.
Thus the equation should be like:
(3500*10/x*5) = 2:3.
Right?
Thus the equation should be like:
(3500*10/x*5) = 2:3.
Right?

3500*12 = 42000 is ratio 42000/2 = 21000,
1 = 21000 then 3 ration will 63000 for 12 months,
63000/7months = 9000,
Total investment of B is 9000.
1 = 21000 then 3 ration will 63000 for 12 months,
63000/7months = 9000,
Total investment of B is 9000.

Here its not specified if- A invested 3500 as complete investment or Rs 3500/month for 12 year. How how can we write 3500*12 for A's investment?

@ Rokon Uddin.
They coined the term capital in the question.
So, it's obviously clear they are asking investment amount. Not the total amount.

If A starts with 3000, after 6 months B joined with A with 5000, after 1 yr. total profit is 8000. then how much can get A&B ?

Don't you think that B's total investment should be 7*9000?
Because we have to find B's total contribution. Please tell me.
