Question 1

P and Q start a business with investments in the ratio 5 : 14. After 3 months, P increases his capital by $1/5$^th, and Q increases his capital by $1/14$^th. If the profit at the end of 10 months is 816, then what is the share of P?

After 3 months, the ratio of their capitals is 6:15. The ratio of money-months of P and Q is ${5 × 3 + 6 × 7}/{14 × 3 + 15 × 7}$, which is $57/147$. Profit of P = $57/{57 + 147}$ × 816 = Rs. 228.

Question 2

X starts a business with a capital of Rs. 1800. Some months later Y joins him with a capital of Rs. 900. For how much period does Y join if the profits are shared in the ratio 4 : 1?

Soln.
Ans: a

Money-months of X are 1800 × 12 = 21600. If money-months of X are 4 then money-months of Y are 1. So, if money-months of X are 21600, money-months of Y are $1/4 × 21600$, which gives months of Y = ${1 × 21600}/{4 × 900}$ = 6 months.

Question 3

X starts a business with a capital of Rs. 3200. Some months later Y joins him with a capital of Rs. 400. For how much period does Y join if the profits are shared in the ratio 16 : 1?

Soln.
Ans: a

Money-months of X are 3200 × 12 = 38400. If money-months of X are 16 then money-months of Y are 1. So, if money-months of X are 38400, money-months of Y are $1/16 × 38400$, which gives months of Y = ${1 × 38400}/{16 × 400}$ = 6 months.

A, B and C start a partnership business. A invests Rs. 400 and C invests Rs. 500. What should B have invested if it wanted to earn a share of Rs. 250 in the annual profit of Rs. 500?

Rs. 450.

Rs. 550.

Rs. 350.

Rs. 650.
