Question

Rakesh started a business with 3500/- and after 5 months, manish joins with rakesh as his partner. after a year, the profit is divided the ratio 2:3. what is manish's contribution in this business?

Answer 1

Answer is because if we take 2x for
rakesh and 3x for manish their sum is 5x
so
2x+5x =3500
7x=3500
x=3500÷7 we will get 500
lets verify too
2×500 =1000
5×500=2500
1000+2500 =3500

Answer 2

Let B's capital be Rs. x.

Then,[(3500×12/7x)=2/3]
=> 14x = 126000

=> x = 9000.
