      E 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the time period of A, B and C be 4a, 3a and 6a respectively.
      Profit sharing ratio of A, B and C = 10X Γ— 4a : (2X + 62) Γ— 3a : (2000 – 5X) Γ— 6a
      ATQ,
      (10X Γ— 4a)/((2X + 62) Γ— 3a) = 12/8
      => (40X)/(6X + 186) = 12/8

      8 Γ— 40X = 12(6X + 186)
      320X = 72X + 2232
      248X = 2232
      X = 9
      Required value = 20 Γ— 9 = 180
