A and B started a partnership business investing in the ratio of 2 : 5. C joined them after 3 months with an amount equal to 4/5th of B. What was their profit (in Rs) at the end of the year if A got Rs 16,800 as his share?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 84000

Application

A and B started a partnership business investing in the ratio of 2 : 5. C joined them after 3 months with an amount equal to 4/5th of B.

So,

Ratio in which the profit will be shared

= (2 × 12) : (5 × 12) : (5 × 4/5 × 9)

= 24 : 60 : 36

= 2 : 5 : 3

A got Rs. 16,800 as his share.

So,

Total profit = 16800 × 10/2 = Rs. 84000
