Question Detail
Rs. 700 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
- Rs 200
- Rs 300
- Rs 400
- Rs 500
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let C = x.
Then B = x/2
and A = x/4
A:B:C = 1:2:4.
C's share Rs.[(4/7)*700) = 400
1. A starts business with Rs. 3500 and after 5 months, B joins with A as his partner. After a year, the profit is divided in the ratio 2:3. What is B's contribution in the capital
- Rs 9000
- Rs 7000
- Rs 5000
- Rs 4000
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let B contribution is x.
\begin{aligned}
\frac{3500*12}{7x} = \frac{2}{3} \\
=> 14x = 126000
=> x = Rs 9000
\end{aligned}
2. Rahul and Bharti are partners in a business. Rahul contributes 1/4th capital for 15 months and Bharti received 2/3 of profit. For how long Bharti money was used.
- 8 months
- 10 months
- 11 months
- 17 months
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the total profit be Rs. Z
Bharti's share = (2/3)Z
Rahul's Share = Z-(2/3)Z = Z/3
Rahul:Bharti = Z/3:(2/3)Z = 1:2
Now let the total capital be Rs X, and Bharti capital was used for Y months
then, Rahul capital will be (1/4)X and Bharti capital wil be X-(1/4)X = 3X/4
\begin{aligned}
\frac{\frac{1}{4}X*15}{\frac{3}{4}X*Y}= \frac{1}{2} \\
Y = \frac{15*2}{3} = 10
\end{aligned}
So Bharti's money was used for 10 months
3. P and Q started a business investing Rs 85000 and Rs 15000 resp. In what ratio the profit earned after 2 years be divided between P and Q respectively.
- 17:5
- 17:3
- 17:6
- 17:7
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
In this type of question as time frame for both investors is equal then just get the ratio of their investments.
P:Q = 85000:15000
= 85:15
= 17:3
4. A, B and C enter into a partnership investing Rs 35000, Rs 45000 and Rs 55000 resp. The respective share of A,B and C in an annual profit of Rs 40500 are.
- Rs. 11500, Rs. 13500, Rs. 16500
- Rs. 10500, Rs. 12500, Rs. 16500
- Rs. 10500, Rs. 13500, Rs. 15500
- Rs. 10500, Rs. 13500, Rs. 16500
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
A:B:C = 35000:45000:55000
= 7:9:11
Now we are having the ratio.
to get the share, first make total of above ratio.
then get each share.
\begin{aligned}
\text{A's Share} = 40500*\frac{7}{27} \\
= Rs&10500 \\
\text{B's Share} = 40500*\frac{9}{27} \\
= Rs&13500 \\
\text{B's Share} = 40500*\frac{11}{27} \\
= Rs&16500 \\
\end{aligned}
5. Three partners A,B and C shared the profit in a software business in the ratio 5:7:8. They had partnered for 14 months, 8 months and 7 months respectively. Find the ratio of their investments?
- 19:49:64
- 20:49:64
- 20:49:65
- 20:50:64
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let their investments be Rs. x for 14 months, Rs. y for 8 months and Rs. z for 7 months respectively
Then, 14x : 8y : 7z = 5 : 7 : 8
Now, 14x/8x = 5/7
=> y = (49/20)x
14x/7z = 5/8
=> z = (16/5)x
=>x:y:z = x:(49/20)x:(16/5)x
= 20:49:64
