2738.Suresh started a business with Rs.20,000. Kiran joined him after 4 months with Rs.30,000. After 2 more months, Suresh withdrew Rs.5,000 of his capital and 2 more months later, Kiran brought in Rs.20,000 more. What should be the ratio in which they should share their profits at the end of the year?
21:32
32:21
12:17
17:12
Explanation:

Here capital is not the same.

Suresh invested 20000 for initial 6 months and 15000 for the next 6 months. Hence his term of ratio

$=(20000×6+15000×6)$

Kiran invested Rs.30000 for 4 months and Rs.50000 for next 4 months. Hence his term of ratio

$=(30000×4+50000×4)$

Suresh : Kiran

$=\left(20000\times6+15000\times6\right)$$:\left(30000\times4+50000\times4\right)$

$=\left(20\times6+15\times6\right)$:$\left(30\times4+50\times4\right)$=$\left(20\times3+15\times3\right)$:$\left(30\times2:50\times2\right)$=105:160=21:32

2741.A invested Rs 76000 in a business. After few months, B joined him with Rs 57000. The total profit was divided between them in the ratio 2 : 1 at the end of the year. After how many months did B join?
2
3
4
5
Explanation:

Suppose B was there in the business for $x$ months. Then

A : B $=76000×12:57000×x$

Therefore,

$76000×12:57000×x=2:1$

$76×12:57x=2:1$

$76×12×1=57x×2$

$76×4=19x×2$

$4×4=x×2$

$x=8$

Hence B was there in the business for 8 months, or joined after 12-8 = 4 months

2743.Kamal started a business with Rs.25000 and after 4 months, Kiran joined him with Rs.60000. Kamal received Rs.58000 including 10% of profit as commission for managing the business. What amount did Kiran receive?
75000
70000
72000
78000
Explanation:

Ratio of the profits of Kamal and Kiran

$=25000×12:60000×8=25×12:60×8 =5×3:12×2=5:4×2=5:8$

Let the total profit $=x$

Then Kamal received $\dfrac{10x}{100}=\dfrac{x}{10}$ as commission for managing the business.

Remaining profit $=x-\dfrac{x}{10}=\dfrac{9x}{10}$ which is shared in the ratio $5:8$

Total amount received by Kamal $=\dfrac{x}{10}+\dfrac{9x}{10}×\dfrac{5}{13}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{10}+\dfrac{9x}{10}×\dfrac{5}{13}=58000$

$ \Rightarrow x + 9x×\dfrac{5}{13}=580000$

$ \Rightarrow x\left(1+\dfrac{45}{13}\right)=580000$

$\Rightarrow x×\dfrac{58}{13}=580000$

$\Rightarrow x×\dfrac{1}{13}=10000$

$ \Rightarrow x=130000$

Kirans share = $130000-58000=72000$

2744.A, B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio $ \dfrac{7}{2} $ : $ \dfrac{4}{3} $ :$ \dfrac{6}{5} $ . After 4 months, A increases his share 50%. If the total profit at the end of one year be Rs. 21,600, then Bs share in the profit is:
Rs. 2100
Rs. 2400
Rs. 3600
Rs. 4000
Explanation:

Ratio of initial investments =$ \left(\dfrac{7}{2} :\dfrac{4}{3} :\dfrac{6}{5} \right) $= 105 : 40 : 36.

Let the initial investments be 105$ x $, 40$ x $ and 36$ x $.

$\therefore$ A : B : C =$ \left(105x \times 4 +\dfrac{150}{100} \times 105x \times 8\right) $: $\left(40 x \times 12\right)$ :$ \left(36 x \times 12\right)$

   = 1680$ x $ : 480$ x $ : 432$ x $ = 35 : 10 : 9.

Hence, Bs share = Rs.$ \left(21600 \times\dfrac{10}{54} \right) $= Rs. 4000.

2745.A and B started a business in partnership investing Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 15,000 respectively. After six months, C joined them with Rs. 20,000. What will be Bs share in total profit of Rs. 25,000 earned at the end of 2 years from the starting of the business?
Rs. 7500
Rs. 9000
Rs. 9500
Rs. 10,000
Explanation:

A : B : C = $\left(20,000 \times 24\right)$ :$\left (15,000 \times 24\right)$ : $\left(20,000 \times 18\right)$ = 4 : 3 : 3.

$\therefore$ Bs share = Rs.$ \left(25000 \times\dfrac{3}{10} \right) $= Rs. 7,500.

2746.A, B and C jointly thought of engaging themselves in a business venture. It was agreed that A would invest Rs. 6500 for 6 months, B, Rs. 8400 for 5 months and C, Rs. 10,000 for 3 months. A wants to be the working member for which, he was to receive 5% of the profits. The profit earned was Rs. 7400. Calculate the share of B in the profit.
Rs. 1900
Rs. 2660
Rs. 2800
Rs. 2840
Explanation:

For managing, A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370.

Balance = Rs. $\left(7400 - 370\right)$ = Rs. 7030.

Ratio of their investments = $\left(6500 \times 6\right)$ : $\left(8400 \times 5\right)$ : $\left(10000 \times 3\right)$

   = 39000 : 42000 : 30000

   = 13 : 14 : 10

$\therefore$ Bs share = Rs.$ \left(7030 \times\dfrac{14}{37} \right) $= Rs. 2660.

2747.P, Q and R started a business by investing Rs.120000, Rs.135000 and Rs.150000 respectively. Find the share of each, out of the annual profit of Rs.56700.
16800, 18900, 21000
17850, 18900, 21000
16800, 18900, 22000
17850, 18500, 22000
Explanation:

P : Q : R = $120000:135000:150000$

$=120:135:150=24:27:30=8:9:10$

Share of P

$=56700×\dfrac{8}{27}=2100×8=16800$

Share of Q

$=56700×\dfrac{9}{27}=2100×9= 18900$

Share of R

$=56700×\dfrac{10}{27}=2100×10=21000$

2748.In a business, A and C invested amounts in the ratio 2 : 1 , whereas the ratio between amounts invested by A and B was 3 : 2 . If Rs.157300 was their profit, how much amount did B receive?
48000
48200
48400
48600
Explanation:

Assume that investment of C $=x$

Then, investment of A $=2x$

Investment of B $=\dfrac{4x}{3}$

A:B:C $=2x:\dfrac{4x}{3}:x$

=2:$\dfrac{4}{3}$:1=6:4:3

Bs share $=157300×\dfrac{4}{6+4+3}$

$=157300×\dfrac{4}{13}=12100×4=48400$

2750.A, B and C start a business with each investing Rs 20,000. After 5 months A withdraws Rs 5000, B withdraws Rs 4000 and C invests Rs 6000 more. At the end of the year, a total profit of Rs 69900 was recorded. Find the share of A.
20600
20700
20500
20400
Explanation:

A : B : C

=$\left(20000\times5+15000×7\right)$:$\left(20000\times5+16000\times7\right)$:$\left(20000\times 5+26000\times 7\right)$

=$\left (20\times 5 + 15\times 7\right)$: $\left (20\times 5 + 16\times 7\right)$: $\left (20\times 5 + 26\times 7\right)$

$= 205 : 212 : 282$

As share $=69900×\dfrac{205}{205+212+282}$

$=69900×\dfrac{205}{699}=20500$

2751.If Three partners A, B and C start a business. Bs capital is four times Cs capital and twice As capital is equal to thrice Bs capital. If the total profit is Rs 16500 at the end of a year, find out Bs share in it.
4000
5000
6000
7000
Explanation:

Suppose Cs capital $=x$. Then,

Bs capital $=4x$ [Since Bs capital is four times Cs capital]

As capital $=6x$ [Since twice As capital is equal to thrice Bs capital]

A : B : C $=6x:4x:x$

$= 6 : 4 : 1$

Bs share

=$16500×\dfrac{4}{11}$=$1500×4=6000$
