Question

A, B and C jointly thought of engaging themselves in a business venture. It was agreed that A would invest Rs. 6500 for 6 months, B, Rs. 8400 for 5 months and C, Rs. 10,000 for 3 months. A wants to be the working member for which, he was to receive 5% of the profits. The profit earned was Rs. 7400. Calculate the share of B in the profit.

Options:
A .  Rs. 1900
B .  Rs. 2660
C .  Rs. 2800
D .  Rs. 2840
Answer: Option B

For managing, A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370.


Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030.


Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3)


   = 39000 : 42000 : 30000


   = 13 : 14 : 10


Therefore B's share = Rs.    \(\left(7030\times\frac{14}{37}\right)\)  = RS.2660.
