A starts business with Rs. 3500 and after 5 months, B joins with A as his partner. After a year, the profit is divided in the ratio 2 : 3. What is B's contribution in the capital?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let B's capital be Rs. x.
| Then, |  |
3500 x 12 | = | 2 |  |
| 7x | 3 |
14x = 126000
x = 9000.

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.

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