2.

What is R's share of profit in a joit venture?

I. 

Q started business investing Rs. 80,000.

II. 

R joined him after 3 months.

 III. 

P joined after 4 months with a capital of Rs. 1,20,000 and got Rs. 6000 as his share profit.

All I, II and III
I and III only
II and III only
Even with all I, II and III, the answer cannot be arrived at
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

From I, II and III, we get P : Q : R = (120000 x 8) : (80000 x 12) : (x x 9).

Since R's investment is not given, the above ratio cannot be give.

Here, Total profit is not mentioned so the answer can't be determined.
