A and B entered into a patnership investing some amount the investment of A is twice of investment of B. another person c joined him after 4 month atthe end of year the profit share of A and C are equal then find the profit share of B is what % of profit share of c
Answers
ALways Remember this while solving partnership questions like this
For 2 persons
I1 * T1 : I2 * T2 = P1 : P2
where I1 = Investment of 1st person
T1 = Time Period of the investment
P1 = Profit made by 1st person Similarly I2,T2 and P2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's now jump on to your question
Lets take the investment of B be x
Therefore investment by A will be 2x
2x * 12 : x * 12 : C * 8 = Pa : Pb : Pc
2x =A investment
12 = 12 months is the time period of A's investment
We have taken C's investment as C and the time taken as 8 months because he joined after 4 months
2x * 12/C * 8 = Pa/Pc taking this from the above equation formed
we are given Pa = Pc
Therefore ,
24x = 8C
C =3x
Now we have the investment of all 3 (A , B and C)
B = x
A = 2x
C = 3x
C - B/C * 100 = 3x - x/3x * 100 =66.66 %
