Answer 1

Given:

A, B and C started a business with capitals of rs.6000, rs.8000, and rs.10000 respectively

At the end of the year, the profit share of b is rs1000

To find:

The difference between the profit shares of A and C

Solution:

In the investment, the ratio of the share of the profit is equal to the ratio of the share of their respective investments.

So to get the ratio of the profit of the A, B and C just find the ratio of theirs investments.

Investment

A        :       B      :      C

6000 :    8000  : 10000

3        :         4     :     5

As in the question the profit of the B is rs. 1000

So, on comparing

4 ------------ 1000

and the difference between A and C is 2

so by the unitary method, we get:

• 4 ------------- 1000
• 1 --------------- 1000/4
• 2 ------------ 250×2 = 500

The difference between the profit shares of A and C is rs 500.
