Explanation
A, B and C enter into a partnership.
A invests 3 times as much as B
B invests two-third of what C invests
We will assume C’s investment as y then B’s investment becomes 2y/3 and C’s investment would be 2y.
As, profit ratio equals to investment ratio
A : B : C = 2y : 2y/3 : y
Profit earned is 6600 and B’s profit would be;
B’s share in profit = (B’s ratio of investment x total profit) / total ratio
To Find
B’s share in annual profit = ?
Solution
Let suppose
Investment of C = y
Then; B’s investment = 2y/3
A’s investment = 2y
Ratio of investment is equal to ratio of profit
A : B : C = 2y : 2y/3 : y
A : B : C = 2 : 2/3 : 1
A : B : C = 6 : 2 : 3 (and 6 + 2 + 3 = 11)
Total annual profit = 6600
B’s share in profit = (2 x 6600)/11
B’s share in profit = Rs. 1200 answer
Conclusion
A, B and C enter into a partnership. A invests 3 times as much as B invests and B invest two-third of what C invests. At the end of the year, the profit earned is Rs. 6600. The share of B will be Rs. 1200.
