    Question

    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
