Two friends A and B started a business with initial investment in the ratio 9 : 10. After 3 months one other friend C joined the business with a capital of Rs.95000. As a result A and B withdrew same amount from their capital in the ratio of their investment. If at the end of the year total profit is Rs.21700 and A got Rs.5625, then find out A’s initial capital.1. 810002. 950003. 920004. 900005. 100000

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 90000

Given:

Initial capital ratio of A and B is 9 : 10

3 months after the start C joined with Rs.95000

Year-end profit = Rs.21700 and A got = Rs.5625

Formula used:

Profit = total profit × (part share / total share)

Calculations:

Let us assume initial capital of A and B be 9000x and 10000x respectively.

After C joined,

A will withdraw = 95000 × 9/19 = 45000

B will withdraw = 95000 × 10/19 = 50000

Ratio of their capital =

{(9000x × 3) + (9000x – 45000) × 9} : {(10000x × 3) + (10000x – 50000) × 9} : 81000 × 9

= (36x - 135) : (40x - 150) : 243

Now, A’s profit = [(36x - 135)/(36x - 135 + 40x – 150 + 243)] × 21700

ATQ,

[(36x - 135) / (36x - 135 + 40x – 150 + 243)] × 21700 = 5625

⇒ (36x – 135) / (76x - 42) = 5625/21700 = 225/868

⇒ x = 10

∴ A’s initial capital = 9000 × 10 = Rs.90000

16955.

A and B started a business with a total investment of Rs.100000 in the ratio 3 : 2. After 3 months B decided to leave the business with his principle and C decided to join in with the same investment. If, the year-end profit is Rs.30000, find out the difference between B and C’s take home profit.1. 50002. 30003. 60004. 70005. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 6000

Given:

Ratio of A and B’s investment = 3 : 2

Total investment = Rs.100000

Year-end profit = Rs.30000

Formula used:

Profit = total profit × (part share / total share)

Calculation:

Initial investment for A = 100000 × 3/5 = Rs.60000

Initial investment for B = 100000 × 2/5 = Rs.40000

Ratio of their investment =

60000 × 12 : 40000 × 3 : 40000 × (12 - 3)

= 6 : 1 : 3

B’s profit = 30000 × 1/10 = Rs.3000

C’s profit = 30000 × 3/10 = Rs.9000

Difference = 9000 – 3000 = Rs.6000
