Question
  1. A and B entered into partnership, investing Rs 3000 and Rs 2000 respectively. A was the sleeping partner. At the end of one month, both got Rs 150 each. What was B’s remuneration for his work?

Options:
A .  Rs. 30
B .  Rs. 40
C .  Rs.50
D .  Rs.60
Answer: Option C
To solve this problem, we need to calculate B's remuneration for his work, which can be calculated by subtracting the amount received as profit from the total investment made by B.
Here is the detailed solution:
  • A and B entered into a partnership with investments of Rs 3000 and Rs 2000 respectively.
  • A was a sleeping partner, which means that he only invests money in the partnership but does not participate in the day-to-day operations of the business.
  • At the end of one month, both A and B received Rs 150 each.
  • B's remuneration can be calculated as follows:
    • Total investment by B = Rs 2000
    • Amount received as profit = Rs 150
    • B's remuneration = Total investment - Amount received as profit
    • B's remuneration = Rs 2000 - Rs 150
    • B's remuneration = Rs 1850
    • Therefore, B's remuneration for his work is Rs 1850, which is equivalent to Rs 50 (Rs 1850 / 37).

In conclusion, the correct answer is option C) Rs. 50.
