months respectively. If at the end of the year the profit is divided in the ratio 2:3:5
respectively, what is B's investment in the business.​

Answer 1

Answer:

B capital 8000.

C capital 12000.

Step-by-step explanation:

$a \: start \: with \: 12000 \: for \: 12 \: months \\ 12000 \times 12 \\ \\ b \: start \: with \: x \: after \: 3 \: months \\ x \times 9 \\ \\ c \: start \: with \: y \: after \: 6 \: months \\ y \times 6$

12000*12 : x*9 : y*6 = 2 : 3 : 5

$2 = = 12000 \times 12 \\ 9x = = \frac{12000 \times 12}{2} \\ x = = \frac{12000 \times 6}{9} = 8000 \\ \\ 6y = = \frac{12000 \times 12}{2} \\ y = = \frac{12000 \times 6}{6} = 12000$
