    Question

    Partners P, Q, and R started a company. P invested 36%

    more than R, and Q invested 54% more than R. If the total profit after a year is Rs. 42000, how much does Q receive? (Calculate approximate value)
    A Rs.15011 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.16523 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.17212 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.16138 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let R’s investment be Rs. ‘x’

    Then, P’s investment = Rs. ‘1.36x’, Q’s investment = Rs. ‘1.54x’

    Profit sharing ratio of P : Q : R = 1.36x : 1.54x : x = 34 : 38.5 : 25

    To eliminate decimals, multiply all terms by 2:

    Ratio = 68 : 77 : 50

    Q’s share = (77 / (68 + 77 + 50)) × 42000 = (77 / 195) × 42000 = Rs. 16523.08 ≈ Rs. 16523
