Question

A invests 725,000 for 12 months, B invests ₹50,000 for 6 months. What is A's share of ₹30,000 profit?

• A. ₹10,000
• B. ₹22,500
• C. ₹15,000
• D. ₹25,000

Answer 1

Answer:

C. ₹15,000

Profit is shared in proportion to capital × time.

Calculate capital-time products

• $A: (25{,}000 \times 12 = 300{,}000)$

• $B: (50{,}000 \times 6 = 300{,}000)$

Step 2: Find the ratio

$A:B = 300{,}000 : 300{,}000 = 1:1$

Step 3: Divide the profit

Total profit = ₹30,000

A's share:

$\frac{1}{1+1} \times 30{,}000 = 15{,}000$

A's share of the ₹30,000 profit is ₹15,000.
