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.

A. Rs. 1900

B. Rs. 2660

C. Rs. 2800

D. Rs. 2840

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

For managing, A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370.
Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030.
Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3)
= 39000 : 42000 : 30000
= 13 : 14 : 10
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore {\text{ B's Share}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 7030}} \times \frac{{14}}{{37}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 2660}} \cr} $$

    If A share 7030 tk by investing tk 6500 for 6 months.
    Then how B share 2660 tk by 8400 for 5 months.

    I think solution will be
    For X,
    I= Pnr
    I=7030, P=6500, n=6
    r=18 %
    And for y
    Share will be
    I= Pnr
    P=8400, n=5, r=18%
    I=7560.
