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.

Note: According to the question we can say that A invested for 12months and B invested after 5 months it means 12months-5= B invested for 7 months.
Then time ratios of A:B = 12:7
Investment = profit/ tim -> to find Investment.
Profit ratios 2 : 3.
Times ratios 12:7.
2/12 : 3/7 do cross multiplication.
ie. 2x7: 12x3.
14: 36 = 7 : 18.
Here
7Parts == 3500.
1p = 500 then.
18p = 18 x 500 = 9000.
Then time ratios of A:B = 12:7
Investment = profit/ tim -> to find Investment.
Profit ratios 2 : 3.
Times ratios 12:7.
2/12 : 3/7 do cross multiplication.
ie. 2x7: 12x3.
14: 36 = 7 : 18.
Here
7Parts == 3500.
1p = 500 then.
18p = 18 x 500 = 9000.

Partnership formula
Partnership formula
Ratio of investment * time = Ratios of profit
3500 * 12 : x (unknown) * 7 = 2 k : 3 k.
I have used t as it's a substituted ratio
42000 : 7 x = 2k : 3k.
To find the value of k;
42000 = 2 k.
k = 42000/2 = 21000.
To find the value of x
7x = 3k,
7x = 3 * 21000
x = (3*21000)/7.
x = 9000.
Partnership formula
Ratio of investment * time = Ratios of profit
3500 * 12 : x (unknown) * 7 = 2 k : 3 k.

42000 : 7 x = 2k : 3k.

k = 42000/2 = 21000.
To find the value of x
7x = 3k,
7x = 3 * 21000
x = (3*21000)/7.
x = 9000.

Here, 3500/B * 12/7 =2/3 = 9000.

Profit ratio of A and B
2 : 3
Time Ratio. 12: 7
Investment = profit/time
2/12 : 3/7 = 1/6 : 3/7
= 7 : 18 Here LCM is taken as 42,
7p ->3500,
so 1p->500.
So B capital 18p ->9000
2 : 3
Time Ratio. 12: 7
Investment = profit/time
2/12 : 3/7 = 1/6 : 3/7
= 7 : 18 Here LCM is taken as 42,
7p ->3500,
so 1p->500.
So B capital 18p ->9000
