Problems on Partnership:

1. A, B and C invested 3,000, 6,000 and 3,000 respectively in a business. A left after 5 months. If after 9 months, there was a gain of 4,000, then what will be the share of A?

Solution:

                 3000*5 : 6000*9 : 3000*9

                 5: 18: 9

                 5+ 18+ 9 = 32.

                 A’s share = (4000*5)/32

                                = 625.

2. A, B and C enter into a partnership. They invest 20,000, 40,000 and 50,000 respectively. At the end of the first year, B withdraws 10,000 while C withdraws 30,000. In what ratio will the profit be shared at the end of 2 years?

Solution:

                 20,000*24 : (40,000*12 + 30,000*12) : (50,000*12 + 20,000*12)

                 20,000*24 : 12(70,000) : 12(70,000)

                 4: 7: 7
