1. Yogesh started a business investing Rs. 45000. After 3 months, Pranab joined him with a capital of Rs. 60000. After another 6 months, Atul joined them with a capital of Rs. 90000. At the end of the year, they made a profit of Rs. 20000. What would be Atuls share in it?
a) Rs. 7000
b) Rs. 6000
c) Rs. 5000
d) Rs. 4000
Explanation: Yogesh : Pranab : Atul
= 45000 × 12 : 60000 × 9 : 90000 × 3
= 2 : 2 : 1
Atul's share
$$\eqalign{ & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}20000 \times \frac{1}{5} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}4000 \cr} $$

a) 8 months
b) 10 months
c) 11 months
d) 17 months
Explanation:
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let}}\,{\text{the}}\,{\text{total}}\,{\text{profit}}\,{\text{be}}\,Rs.\,Z \cr & {\text{Bharti's}}\,{\text{share}} = {\frac{2}{3}} Z \cr & {\text{Rahul's}}\,{\text{share}} = Z - {\frac{2}{3}} Z \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{Z}{3} \cr & {\text{Rahul:Bharti}} \cr & = \frac{Z}{3}: {\frac{2}{3}} Z = 1:2 \cr & {\text{Now}}\,{\text{let}}\,{\text{the}}\,{\text{total}}\,{\text{capital}}\,{\text{be}}\,Rs\,X, {\text{and}}\,{\text{Bharti}}\,{\text{capital}}\,{\text{was}}\,{\text{used}}\,{\text{for}}\,Y\,{\text{months}}. \cr & {\text{then,}}\,{\text{Rahul}}\,{\text{capital}}\,{\text{will}}\,{\text{be}}\, {\frac{1}{4}} X \cr & {\text{and}}\,{\text{Bharti}}\,{\text{capital}}\,{\text{will}}\,{\text{be}}\,X - {\frac{1}{4}} X \cr & = \frac{{3X}}{4} \cr & \frac{{\frac{1}{4}X*15}}{{\frac{3}{4}X*Y}} = \frac{1}{2} \cr & Y = \frac{{15*2}}{3} = 10 \cr} $$

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Rahul's share}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\frac{x}{2} \cr & {\text{Arun's share}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\frac{x}{3} \cr & {\text{Sumit's share}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left[ {x - \left( {\frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{3}} \right)} \right] \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}\frac{x}{6} \cr & {\text{Required ratio}} \cr & = \frac{x}{2}:\frac{x}{3}:\frac{x}{6} \cr & = \frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{6} \cr & = 3:2:1 \cr} $$
6. A, B and C subscribe Rs. 50000 for a business. A subscribes Rs. 4000 more than B and B Rs. 5000 more than C. Out of a total profit of Rs. 35000, A receives ?
a) Rs. 8400
b) Rs. 11900
c) Rs. 13600
d) Rs. 14700
Explanation:
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let C}} = x \cr & {\text{B}} = x + 5000{\text{ and}} \cr & {\text{A}} = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000 \cr & \Rightarrow x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000 \cr & 3x = 36000 \cr & x = 12000 \cr & {\text{A}}:{\text{B}}:{\text{C}} \cr & = 21000:17000:12000 \cr & = 21:17:12 \cr & {\text{A's share}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {35000 \times \frac{{21}}{{50}}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs.}}{\text{14700}} \cr} $$
7. A, B and C are three partners. They altogether invested Rs. 14000 in business. At the end of the year, A got Rs. 337.50, B Rs. 1125 and C Rs. 637.50 as profit. The difference between the investments of B and A was ?
a) Rs. 2200
b) Rs. 3200
c) Rs. 4200
d) Rs. 5250
Explanation: Ratio of investments of A, B and C = Ratio of their profits
$$\eqalign{ & = 337.50:1125:637.50 \cr & = 9:30:17 \cr & {\text{A's investment}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {14000 \times \frac{9}{{56}}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs. }}{\text{2250}} \cr & {\text{B's investment}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {14000 \times \frac{{30}}{{56}}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs. }}{\text{7500}} \cr & {\text{Required difference}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {7500 - 2250} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs. }}{\text{5250}} \cr} $$
8. A and B are two partners in a firm sharing the profit in the ratio 4 : 5. If the firm earns a profit of Rs. 14130, then profit to be received by B ?
a) Rs. 6280
b) Rs. 7850
c) Rs. 1570
d) Rs. 3140
Explanation:
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{A}}:{\text{B}} \cr & 4:{\text{ }}5 \cr & \left( {4 + 5} \right){\text{units}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 14130}} \cr & {\text{1 unit}} = \frac{{14130}}{9} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}1570 \cr & 5{\text{ units}} = 5 \times 1570 = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 7850}} \cr & {\text{Share of B}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 7850}} \cr} $$
9. A and B started a business investing amounts in the ratio of 2 : 3. If A has invested an additional amount of Rs. 10000, their ratio of investment would have been 3 : 2. The amount invested by A was ?
a) Rs. 8000
b) Rs. 12000
c) Rs. 18000
d) Rs. 20000
Explanation: Initial ratio of investments by A and B = 2 : 3
Let their respective investments are 2x and 3x
If A added Rs. 10000 to his investment
Then the new ratio = 3 : 2
$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{2x + 10000}}{{3x}} = \frac{3}{2} \cr & 4x + 20000 = 9x \cr & 5x = 20000 \cr & x = 4000 \cr} $$
Original investment by A = 2 × 4000 = Rs. 8000
10. A, B and C started a business investing amounts in the ratio of 5 : 6 : 8 respectively. After one year, C withdrew 50% of the amount and A invested an additional amount of 60% of the original amount invested by him.

a) 2 : 3 : 3
b) 4 : 3 : 2
c) 13 : 12 : 12
d) Cannot be determined
Explanation: Let the initial investments of A, B and C be Rs. 5x, Rs. 6x and Rs. 8x respectively
A : B : C
[5x × 12 + (160% of 5x) × 12] : (6x × 24) : (8x × 12 + 4x × 12)
= 156x : 144x : 144x
= 13 : 12 : 12
