​

Answer 1

Given:-

• A, B and C enter into a partnership. A  contributes Rs.320 for 4 months,B contributes Rs.510 for 3 months and C  contributes Rs. 270 for 5 months.  the total  profit is Rs.208.

To find:-

• the profit share of  A.?

Solution:-

MEI of A : MEI of B : MEI of C= A's profit  : B's Profit : C's Profit  

(MEI  =  Monthly Equivalent Investment)

                                                 = (320 × 4) : (510 ×  3) : (270 ×  5)

                                                 = 1280 : 1530 : 1350

                                                 = 128 : 153 :135

A's profit share = 128 / 128+153+135   * 208

                        = 128/ 416  *208

                        = Rs. 64 .

Answer 2

Answer:

The profit share of A is $Rs. 64$.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that A, B and C enter into a partnership.

A contributes $Rs.320$ for four months

B contributes $Rs.510$ for three months

$C$ contributes $Rs. 270$ for five months.

Total profit is $Rs.208$

We need to determine share of A.

Now, according to question

MEI of A : MEI of B : MEI of C= A's profit  : B's Profit : C's Profit

where MEI  is  Monthly Equivalent Investment

$= (320 * 4) : (510 * 3) : (270 * 5)$

$= 1280 : 1530 : 1350$

$= 128 : 153 :135$

Profit share of A $= \frac{128}{128+153+135 } *208$

$=64$

A's share is $Rs. 64$
