Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Initial investment by A = ₹75,000
B joins 5 months later with an investment = ₹80,000
Total profit after 1 year = ₹4,08,800
Concept Used:
Profit shares ∝ (Investment × Time Period)
Calculations:
A's Capital-Time = ₹75,000 × 12 months = ₹9,00,000 months
B's Capital-Time = ₹80,000 × 7 months = ₹5,60,000 months
Ratio of A's and B's capital-time:
⇒ A : B = ₹9,00,000 : ₹5,60,000
⇒ A : B = 90 : 56
⇒ A : B = 45 : 28
Share of total profit according to ratio:
⇒ A's share = (45/(45+28)) × ₹4,08,800 = ₹2,52,000
⇒ B's share = (28/(45+28)) × ₹4,08,800 = ₹1,56,800
∴ A's share = ₹2,52,000 and B's share = ₹1,56,800.
