- A and B started a partnership business investing capital in the ratio of 3 : 5.
Question 1:
A and B started a partnership business investing capital in the ratio of 3 : 5. C joined in the partnership after six months with an amount equal to that of B. At the end of one year,the profit should be distributed among A, B and C in --- proportion.
A. 9 : 5 : 4
B. 3 : 4: 5
C. 6 : 10 : 5
Feedback Initial investment capital ratio of A and B = 3 : 5
Hence we can assume that initial capital of A and B are 3x and 5x respectively.
Amount that C invest after 6 months = 5x (Since it is equal to B's investment)
Ratio in which profit should be distributed after 1 year = 3x × 12 : 5x × 12 : 5x × 6
=> 3 × 12 : 5 × 12 : 5 × 6
= 6 : 10 : 5
Hence we can assume that initial capital of A and B are 3x and 5x respectively.
Amount that C invest after 6 months = 5x (Since it is equal to B's investment)
Ratio in which profit should be distributed after 1 year = 3x × 12 : 5x × 12 : 5x × 6
=> 3 × 12 : 5 × 12 : 5 × 6
= 6 : 10 : 5
D. 10 : 5 : 4
