A, B and C enter into a partnership. They invest Rs. 40,000, Rs. 80,000 and Rs. 1,20,000 respectively. At the end of the first year, B withdraws Rs. 40,000, while at the end of the second year, C withdraws Rs. 80,000. In what ratio will the profit be shared at the end of 3 years ?

Answer:

Explanation:

$A:B:C$ $=(40000\times 36)$ $:(80000\times 12+40000\times 24)$ $:(120000\times 24+40000\times 12)$

$=144:192:336$ $=3:4:7$.
