B invested for a period which was twice the time for which A invested and C invested for a period which is thrice the time for which A invested . If at the end of the year they together received an amount of Rs 5750 as profit what was B's share in the profit?

Answer 1

let period be 12months
a for 2mon
b for 4mon
cfor 6mon
a share 8000*2=16000
bshare 6000*4=24000
cshare 10000*6=60000
total shares =100000
profit =5750
bshare in investment= 24/100
bshare in profit =5750*24/100=1380
