50000 for 8 months in a business. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs. 30800, then what is B's share in the profit?Solution
ATQ, A's investment-time = 40000 × 12 = 480000 B's investment-time = 50000 × 8 = 400000 Profit ratio = 480000 : 400000 = 6 : 5 Total parts = 11 B's share = (5/11) × 30800 = 14000 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 14000.
