      After five months B joined him with a capital of Rs.60,000. After 2 years, they earned a profit of Rs.44,850. What was the A’s share in the profit?

      Solution

      Ratio of the capital invested by A and B = (50000 × 24):(60000 × 19) ⇒  20 : 19 Therefore, A’s share = 44850 x (20/39) = Rs.23000
