Three partners x, y and z started their business by investing Rs. 40,000, Rs. 38,000 and Rs. 30,000, respectively. After 6 months, x and z made additional investments of Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 15,000 respectively, whereas y withdrew Rs. 8,000. Find the share of y (in Rs.) in the total profit of Rs. 38,880 made at the end of the year.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{\text{x}}&{}&{\text{y}}&{}&{\text{z}} \\
{40,000 \times 6 + 60,000 \times 6}&:&{38,000 \times 6 + 30,000 \times 6}&:&{30,000 \times 6 + 45,000 \times 6} \\
{40 + 60}&:&{38 + 30}&:&{30 + 45} \\
{100}&:&{68}&:&{75} \\
{100}& + &{68}& + &{75}
\end{array}\]
243 units → 38,880
1 unit → 160
Share of y, 68 units → 160 × 68 = Rs. 10,880
243 units → 38,880
1 unit → 160
Share of y, 68 units → 160 × 68 = Rs. 10,880
