Question

A, Band C enter into partnership. A invests 3 times as much as B
and B invests two-third of what C invests. At the end of the
year, the profit earned is Rs. 6600. What is the share of B ?


Options:
A .  600
B .  1200
C .  1800
D .  2400
Answer: Option B

Let C's capital = Rs. x.
Then, B's capital = Rs. (2/3)x
A's capital = Rs. (3 x (2/3).x) = Rs. 2x.
Ratio of their capitals = 2x : (2/3)x :x = 6 : 2 : 3.
Hence, B's share = Rs. ( 6600 x (2/11))= Rs. 1200.
