A starts a business with a capital of INR 1500/-, B joins the business 6 months later from the starts of the business and C joins the business 8 months later from the start of the business. In the end of the year their respective share in profit was in ratio 5:3:3. What is the sum of amount put in the business by B and C together 

  • INR 3300/-
  • INR 3500/-
  • INR 4200/-
  • INR 4800/-
  • INR 4500/-
  • Explanation:

    Let B joins with a capital of INR x.

    ∴ 1500×12 : x×6 = 5:3

    3000:x=5:3

    5x=9000

    x=1800

    B's capital = INR 1800/-

    Now Let C joins with a capital of INR y.

    ∴ 1800×6 : y×4 = 3:3

    450×6 :y = 3:3

    3y = 450×6×3

    y = INR 2700/-

    C' capital =INR 2700/-

    ∴ Required sum  = 1800+2700 = INR 4500/-

A starts a business with a capital of INR 1500/-, B joins the business 6 months later from the start
