Question

A started a business. After 4 months from the start of the business, B and C joined. The respective ratio between the investments of A, B and C was 4:6:5. If A's share in annual profit was Rs.250 more than C's share. What was the total annual profit earned ? 

  • A) Rs.3740 
  • B) Rs.3910 
  • C) Rs.4250 
  • D) Rs.4350 
  • E) Rs.4450 
Solution

Ratio of the equivalent capitals of A, B and C for 1 month 

= (12 x 4) : (6 x 8) : ( 5 x 8) = 48 : 48 : 40

= 6 : 6 : 5 

Sum of ratios = 6 + 6 + 5 = 17 

If total annual profit be Rs.x then 

A's share - C's share = 250 

=> 6x/17 - 5x/17 = 250 

=> x/17 = 250 

=> x= 17 x 250 = Rs. 4250
