A, B and C gets into partnership. A invests thrice as B and B invests as C. If the total profit gained of the end of the year is . Calculate B's share:
In partnership problems, when the investment time periods are equal (all individuals invest for the full year), the Profit Sharing Ratio is directly equivalent to the Investment Ratio.
Condition 1: "A invests thrice as B"
Condition 2: "B invests as C"
To combine and into a single ratio , we need to make the value of identical in both ratios.
Currently:
Multiply the first ratio by :
Now that in both scenarios, we can write the combined ratio:
Let the total sum of ratio parts be:
Given that the total profit at the end of the year is , the value of is calculated as:
Since B's profit ratio is , B's individual share is:
Looking at the options provided in the problem:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Since is not explicitly listed in choices (a), (b), or (c), it falls under option (d).
The correct option is (d) none (as the exact answer is ).
