Question

A, b, c, d enter into a partnership. A subscribe 1/3 of capital, b 1/4 , c 1/5 and d the rest. What is the share of d out of profit of rs. 6000 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

1300

Step-by-step explanation:

$a = \frac{1}{3} \\ b = \frac{1}{4} \\ c = \frac{1}{5} \\ d = 1 - ( \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} ) \\ \: \: \: \: = 1 - \frac{20 + 15 + 12}{60} \\ \: \: \: \: = 1 - \frac{47}{60} = \frac{13}{60}$

ratio of their profit

1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 : 13/60

= 20 : 15 : 12 : 13

profit = 6000

$share \: of \: d = \frac{13}{60} \times 6000 = 1300$
