Question

A starts business with rs. 35,000 and after 5 months, b joins with a as his partner. After a year, the profit is divided in the ratio 2:3. What is bs contribution in the capital?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the contribution of B to the capital be Rs x.

A's notional capital = Rs 3500 (12) while B's notional capital is Rs x(7)

Ratio of profit should be 3500(12) : 7x

This is given as 2 : 3

So, 3500(12) : 7x = 2 : 3

x = 3500(12)(3)/14 = 9000

So B contributes Rs 9000.
