Q.

A and B invests Rs.10000 each, A investing for 8 months and B investing for all the 12 months in the year. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs.25000, find their shares?

View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

As both A and B invest the same amounts, the ratio of their profits at the end of the year is equal to the ratio of the time periods for which they have invested. Thus, the required ratio of their profits = A : B = 8 : 12 = 2 : 3. Hence, share of A in the total profit = 2 x 25000/5 = Rs.10000 Similarly, share of B in the total profit = 3 x 25000/5 = Rs.15000
