A, B and C enter into a partnership by investing their capital in the ratio of 2/5 : 3/4 : 5/8 |
|
Application |
|
According to the question: Share in which the profit will be shared between A, B and C = [2/5 × 4 + 2/5 × 1.5 × 8] : [3/4 × 4 + 3/4 × 0.8 × 8] : 5/8 × 12 = [8/5 + 24/5] : [3 + 4.8] : 7.5 = 6.4 : 7.8 : 7.5 = 64 : 78 : 75 |
|
Total profit = Rs. 2,82,100 So, Share of B in the total profit = 282100 × 78/(64 + 78 + 75) = 282100 × 78/217 = Rs. 101400 |
