Question
A and B start a business with investments of Rs. 5000 and Rs. 4500 respectively. After 4 months, A takes out half of his capital. After two more months, B takes out one-third of his capital while C joins them with a capital of Rs. 7000. At the end of a year, they earn a profit of Rs. 5080. Find the share of each member in the profit?
Answer: Option B
 - A : B : C = (5000 x 4 + 2500 x 8) : (4500 x 6 + 3000 x 6) : (7000 x 6) = 40000 : 45000 : 42000 = 40 : 45 : 42 A's share = Rs. 5080 x 40 127 = Rs. 1600; B's share = Rs. 5080 x 45 127 = Rs. 1800; C's share = Rs. 5080 x 42 127 = Rs. 1680.
