Solution:

Ratio of shares of A,B and C = Ratio of their investments

                                                  = 120000 : 135000  :  150000 = 8 : 9 : 10.

∴A′sshare=Rs Rs.16800

B′sshare=Rs.=Rs.18900

C′sshare=Rs.(=Rs.21000

Q.82. Alfred started a business investing Rs. 45,000. After 3 months, Peter joined him with a capital of Rs. 60,000. After another 6 months, Ronald joined them with a capital of Rs. 90,000. At the end of the year, they made a profit of Rs. 16,500. Find the share of each.

Solution: 

Clearly, Alfred invested his capita for 12 months, Peter for 9 months and Ronald for 3 months.

So ratio of their capitals = (45000×12) : (60000×9) : (90000×3)

                                            = 540000 : 540000 : 270000 = 2 : 2 : 1

∴Alfred′sshare=Rs.=Rs.6600

Peter′sshare=Rs.=Rs.6600;

Ronald′sshare=Rs.=Rs.3300;

Q.83. A, B and C start a business each investing Rs. 20,000. After 5 months A withdrew Rs.5000, B withdrew Rs. 4000 and C invests Rs. 6000 more. At the end of the year, a total profit of Rs. 69,900 was recorded. Find the share of each. 

Solution: 

Ratio of the capitals of A, B and C

= 20000×5+15000×7 : 20000×5+16000×7: 20000×5+26000×7

= 205000 : 212000 : 282000 = 205 : 212 : 282.

∴A′sshare=Rs.=Rs.20500;

B′sshare=Rs. =Rs.21200;

C′sshare=Rs. =Rs.28200;
