5:A began a business with Rs. 85,000. He was joined afterwards by B with Ks. 42,500. For how much period does B join, if the profits at the end of the year are divided in the ratio of 3 : 1 ? A)8 months B)7 months C)6 months D)5 months Answer : Option A Explanation: Suppose B joined for x months . Then, ( 85000 * 12 )/(42500 * x) = 3. or x = (85000 * 12) / (42500 * 3) = 8. So, B joined for 8 months. 6. If 4 (A's capital) = 6 (B's capital) = 10 (C's capital), then out of a profit of Rs. 4650, C will receive? A)4100 B)4600 C)4500 D)4300 Answer : Option C Explanation: Let 4A = 6B = 1OC = k. Then, A = k/4, B = k/6, and C =k/10 . A : B :C = k/4 : k/6 : k/10 = 15 : 10 : 6. Hence, C's share (4650 * 6/31) = Rs, 900. 5 parts -----> Rs.4500/ 7. 1400 is divided among A, B, C so that A receives half as much as B and B half as much as C. Then C's share is A)800 B)900 C)700 D)1000 Answer : Option A Explanation: Let C = x. Then B = x/2 and A = x/4 A:B:C = 1:2:4. C's share Rs.[(4/7)*1400) = 800 8.Anand and Deepak started a business investing Rs.22,500 and Rs.35,000 respectively. Out of a total profit of Rs. 13,800.
