A, B, and C started a business with initial investments
of Rs. 1,500, Rs. 2,400, and Rs. 4,500, respectively. After 8 months, A and B increased their investments by Rs. 900 and Rs. 600, while C reduced his investment by Rs. 1,500. Find the ratio of their profit shares at the end of 16 months.Solution
Ratio of profit shares of 'A', 'B' and 'C' respectively: = [(1,500 X 8) + (1,500 + 900) X 8]:[(2,400 X 8) + (2,400 + 600) X 8]:[(4,500 X 8) + (4,500 - 1,500) X 8] = (1,500 + 2,400) :(2,400 + 3,000) :(4,500 + 3000) = 3900:5400:7500 = 13:18:25 So, required ratio (A:C:B) = 13:25:18
