A, B, C started a business with the ratio of 2:3:4 respectively. A took his money after 9 month. Then calculate the share of each in profit of 35000 at the end of the year?

Let; B's capital is x.
According to question,
3500 * 12: 7 * x = 2 : 3.
So, X = 900.

A & B start a buisness with Rs 240000 and Rs 300000 respectively. After 4 months C joins with them with Rs 81000 which is withdrawn by A & B according to their capital's ratio. At the end of the year profit is Rs 39150. Find the parts of profit received by A, B and C.

Can anyone solve this?

Let; B's capital is x.
Then 3500 * 12:7x.
42000 : 7x ::2:3.
6000:x::2:3=6000/x=2/3.
x = 9000.

@All.

If you consider B's initial investment answer would be 9000. If you consider B's total investment answer would be 7*9000=63000. So the word "initial should have added in the asking term. Generally, B's investment means a total investment of B. So to me answer is 63000.

@ Rokon Uddin.

They coined the term capital in the question.

So, it's obviously clear they are asking investment amount. Not the total amount.

First of the After a year write a question is 12 is month wise.
3500*12/7x = 2/3.

By cross multiplying, we get;

3500*12=4200 multiple by 3 (42000*3)= 126000.
7 multiple by 2 (7*2) =14.
Then 126000/14 = 9000 is the answer Answer.

A starts a buisness after 5 months for 3500 rupees.
B joins with A.

A has start after 5 months and remaining months is' 7' why because 1 year =12 months. Let we take 7 is for B.

Then (3500*12/7) =2/3. For 2/3 is given for ratio.
14x=126000.
=>12600/14.
X=9000.

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?
