Question

Mr. Sharma, Mr. Gupta and Ms Sinha invested ₹4,000, ₹8,000 and ₹6,000, respectively, in a business. Mr. Sharma left after 6 months. If after 8 months, there was a gain of 34,000, then what will be the share of Mr. Gupta?

• A. ₹14,000
• B. ₹20,000
• C. ₹12,000
• D. ₹16,000

Answer 1

Answer:

D. ₹16,000

ratio of investment $4000:8000:6000$

$4:8:6=2:4:3$

investment months $6:8:8=3:4:4$

profit ratio $2\times3:4\times4:3\times4$

$6:16:12$

$\frac{8\times34000}{17}=16000$
