A starts business with Rs. 3500 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 B’s contribution in the capital?
A. Rs. 7500 B. Rs. 8000 C. Rs. 8500 D. Rs. 9000 Answer: Option DShow Answer
Solution(By Apex Team)
Let B’s capital be Rs. x
∴ A’s share in 12 months = 3500 × 12
And, B’s share in 7 months = 7x
Then,
$\Large\frac{3500 \times 12}{7 x}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\begin{array}{l}
\Rightarrow 14 x=126000 \\
\Rightarrow x=9000
\end{array}$
