A and B started a business in partnership investing Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 15,000 respectively. After six months, C joined them with Rs. 20,000. What will be B's share in the total profit of Rs. 25,000 earned at the end of 2 years from the starting of the business ?

Answer:

Explanation:

$A:B:C$ $=\left(20000\times 24\right)$ $:\left(15000\times 24\right)$ $:\left(20000\times 18\right)$ $= 4:3:3$.

B's share = Rs. $\left(25000\times\frac{3}{10}\right)$ = Rs. 7500.
