Question

'A' started a business with a capital of ₹ 54,000 and admitted 'B' and 'C' after 4 months and 6 months, respectively. At the end of the year, the profit was divided in the ratio 1 : 4 : 5. What is the difference between the capitals invested by 'B' and 'C'?

विकल्प

• ₹ 1,08,000

• ₹ 1,62,000

• ₹ 2,16,000

• ₹ 3,24,000

Answer 1

₹ 2,16,000

Explanation:

A      :    B      :   C

54000 × 12 : B × 8  :  C × 6

1  :   4   : 5

⇒ B's share = `(54,000 xx 12xx 4)/8`

= 54,000 × 6

⇒ C's share = `(54,000 xx 12 xx 5)/6`

= 54000 × 10

∴ Required difference

= 54,000 × 4

= 2,16,000
