Question

A,B and C enter into a partnership by investing in the ratio of 3:2:4. After one year ,B invests another Rs.27000 and C also invests Rs.27000 at the end of 2 years. At the third year,profits are in the ratio of 3:4:5. Find the initial investments of each.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial investments of A, B and C be Rs. 3x, Rs. 2x and Rs. 4x respectively. Then,

(3x x 36) : [(2x x 12) + (2x + 270000) x 24] : [(4x x 24) + (4x +270000) x 12]=3:4:5

1O8x : (72x + 6480000) : (144x + 3240000) = 3 : 4 : 5

108x /(72x+6480000)=3/4 ó 432x = 216x + 19440000

ó216x = 19440000

x=90000

Hence, A’s initial investment = 3x = Rs. 2,70,000;

B's initial investment = 2x = Rs. 1,80,000;

C's initial investment = 4x = Rs. 3,60,000.
