      A business was started by A, B, and C. A’s investment

      was 20% more than C’s, and B’s was 80% more than C’s. If the total profit after a year is Rs. 27000, find B’s portion of the profit.
      A Rs.15011 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.12150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.17212 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.16138 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let C’s investment be Rs. ‘x’

      Then, A’s investment = Rs. ‘1.2x’, B’s investment = Rs. ‘1.8x’

      Profit sharing ratio of A : B : C = 1.2x : 1.8x : x = 12 : 18 : 10

      B's share = (18 / (12 + 18 + 10)) × 27000 = (18 / 40) × 27000 = Rs. 12150
