      After seven months B joined him with a capital of Rs.50,000. After 2 years, they earned a profit of Rs.32,480. What was the A’s share in the profit?
      A 14800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 13440 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Ratio of the capital invested by A and B = (25000 × 24):(50000 × 17) ⇒  12 : 17 Therefore, A’s share = 32480 x (12/29) = Rs.13440
