Question: 6

Arun, Kamal and Vinay invested Rs.8000, Rs.4000 and Rs.8000 respectively in a business. Arun left after six months. If after eight months, there was a gain of Rs.4005, then what will be the share of Kamal?

(A) Rs. 1780

(B) Rs. 1602

(C) Rs. 1335

(D) Rs. 890

Ans: D

Arun : Kamal : Vinay = (8000 x 6) : (4000 x 8) : (8000 x 8)

                               = 48 : 32 : 64

                               = 3 : 2 : 4.

Therefore, Kamal’s share = Rs. ($$4005 × 2/\9$$)= Rs. 890.

Question: 7

A and B started a partnership business investing some amount in the ratio of 3 : 5. C joined them after six months with an amount equal to that of B. In what proportion should the profit at the end of the one year be distributed among A, B and C?

(A) 3 : 5 : 2

(B) 3 : 5 : 5

(C) 3 : 5 : 8

(D) 6 : 10 : 5

Ans: D

Let the initial investments of A and B be 3x and 5x.

A : B : C = (3x × 12) : (5x × 12) : (5x × 6)

             = 36 : 60 : 30

             = 6 : 10 : 5.

Question: 8

A, B and C enter into a partnership with a capital in which A’s contribution is Rs.10,000. If out of a total profit of Rs. 1000, A gets Rs.500 and B gets Rs.300, then C’s capital is

(A) Rs. 3000

(B) Rs. 4000

(C) Rs. 5000

(D) Rs. 6000

Ans: C

A : B : C = 500 : 300 : 200 = 5 : 3 : 2.

Let their capital be 5x, 3x and 2x respectively.

Then, 5x = 10000

x = 2000.

Therefore, C’s capital = 2x = Rs. 4000.

(C) Rs. 8400

(D) Rs. 9600

Ans: C

Deepak’s share = Rs. ($$13800 × 14/{23}$$)= Rs. 8400.

Ans: B

A : B : C = (25 lakhs x 1) + (35 lakhs x 2) : (35 lakhs x 2 + 25 lakhs x 1) : (30 lakhs x 3)

              = 95 lakhs : 95 lakhs : 90 lakhs

              = 19 : 19 : 18.
