3500 x 12 | = | 2 |  |

A's share in 12 months=3500*12
B's share in 7 months=7x
B's share in 7 months=7x

7 is the number of months where B joined and X is capital he brought.

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 ?

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 ?
