    42000
    34000
    38000
    51000
    40000
    Option B
    Let the investment of A,B and C = 6x, 3x and 4x respectively.
    profit sharing ratio of A,B and C = (6x * 1 + 3x * 1) : (3x * 1 + 6x * 1) : (4x * 2)
    = 9x : 9x : 8x = 9 : 9 : 8
    Total profit share of B and C = 52000 * 17/26 = 34000

     

  2. P started a business with the investment of rs.5500. After four months Q and R joined the business with investment of rs.6000 and rs.4500 respectively. At the end of the one year they earned total profit rs.22500. Find profit share of R ?

    3250
    Option A
    profit sharing ratio of P,Q and R = (5500 * 12) : (6000 * 8) : (4500 * 8) = 11 : 8 : 6
    profit share of R = 22500 * 6/25 = 5400

    2 : 5 : 3
    10 : 9 : 5
    3 : 4 : 8
    5 : 6 : 5
    Option E
    Profit sharing ratio of X, Y and Z = (4 * 5) : (3 * 8) : (5 * 4) = 20 : 24 : 20 = 5 : 6 : 5

     

  5. A and B investment rs.8000 and rs.6000 for 12 months and 14 months respectively in the business.

    4800
    8000
    4800
    Option D
    Profit sharing ratio of A and B = (8000 * 12) : (6000 * 14) = 8 : 7
    Let total profit of the business = 100x
    salary given to B = 100x * 25/100 = 25x
    remaining profit = 100x – 25x = 75x
    profit share of A = 75x * 8/15 = 40x
    40x = 3200
    x = 80
    total profit of the business = 100x = 100 * 80 = 8000

    Let A invests = rs.x
    B invests = 2x
    C invests = 3x
    profit sharing ratio of A , B and C = (x * 12 ) : (2x * 8) : (3x * 6)
    =6 : 8 : 9
    profit share of B = 9200 * 8 /23 = 3200

    X gets profit for being a working partner = 25000 * 20 /100 = 5000
    remaining profit = 25000 – 5000 = 20000
    profit share of X of the remaining profit = 20000 * 6 /25 = 4800
    total profit of X = 5000 + 4800 = 9800

     

  9. A and B started a business by investing rs.15000 and rs.20000 respectively. By mistake they divided the total profit in the ratio of 1 : 3, so that A loses rs.500. What is total profit of the business ?

    Let total profit of the business = rs. x
    profit sharing ratio of A = 3x/7
    By mistake profit share of A = x/4
    A losses = 500
    = 12x – 7x/28
    x = 500 * 28/5 = 2800
    total profit of the business = rs.2800
