Question
A and B started a business in partnership by investing in the ratio of 7 : 9. After 3 months A withdraw $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of its investment and after 4 months from the beginning B withdraw $$33\frac{1}{3}$$ % of its investment. If a total earned profit is Rs. 10201 at the end of 9 months, find the share of each in profit ?
Answer: Option A
Note : In such type of question we can assume ratio as per our need to avoid fraction
Capital →
A7 × 3
:
B9 × 3
New Ratio, →
A21x
:
B27x
Total capital invested by A in 9 months
$$\eqalign{
& = 21x \times 3 + 7x \times 6 \cr
& = 105x \cr} $$
Total capital of B invested in 9 months
$$\eqalign{
& = 27x \times 4 + 18x \times 5 \cr
& = 198x \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{According to the question,}} \cr
& \left( {105x + 198x} \right) = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 10201}} \cr
& 303x = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 10201}} \cr
& x = \frac{{10201}}{{303}} \cr
& {\text{Hence,}} \cr
& {\text{Share of A}} = 105 \times \frac{{10201}}{{303}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,3535 \cr
& {\text{Share of B}} = 198 \times \frac{{10201}}{{303}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{6666}} \cr} $$
