    A and B started a business with investments in

    the ratio 4:5 respectively. After 5 months, C joined them with an investment 20% more than the investment of B. Find the profit share of C out of the total profit of Rs. 3500 at the end of two years
    A Rs. 1960 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1050 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 1250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the investments of A and B be Rs. 4x and Rs. 5x respectively.
    So, the investment of C = 1.20 × 5x = Rs. 6x
    So, the ratio of their investments = (4x × 24): (5x × 24): (6x × 19) = 4:5:5
    So, the profit share of C = 5/14 × 3500 = Rs. 1250
