Arun, Kamal and Vinay invested Rs. 8000, Rs. 4000 and Rs. 8000 respectively in a business. Arun left after six months. If after eight months, there was a gain of Rs. 4005, then what will be the share of Kamal ?

Answer:

Explanation:

Arun : Kamal : Vinay $=(8000\times 6)$ $:(4000\times 8)$ $:(8000\times 8)$

$=48:32:64$

$=3:2:4$.

$\therefore$ Kamal's share = Rs. $\left(4005\times\frac{2}{9}\right)$ = Rs. 890.
