1. Rs.700 is divided among A, B, C so that A receives half as much as B and B half as much as C. Then C’s share is
A.Rs. 200
B.Rs. 400
C.Rs, 300
D.Rs, 6Q0
Answer
Explanation:
Let C = x. Then B = x/2 and A = x/4
A: B: C = 1:2:4.
C’s share Rs.[700*(4/7)) = 400.
2. A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and A's share is Rs.855, the total profit is
A. Rs. 1900
B. Rs. 2850
C. Rs. 1500
D. Rs.3800
Answer
Explanation:
Let the total profit be Rs.x and 0.05x goes to charity.
Out of the remaining 95%,
A’s share is 0.95x*3/5 = 0.57x = 855 x=Rs.1500
3. A began a business with Rs.85,000. He was joined afterwards by B with Rs.42,500. For how much period does B join, if the profits at the end of the year are divided in the ratio of 3 : 1?
A.4 months
B.5 months
C.6 months
D.8 months
Answer
Explanation:
Suppose B joined for x months. Then,
Then, 85000 x (12/42500) x x =3/1
x = 85000 x (12/42500) x 3
x= 8.
So, B joined for 8 months.

6. A, B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio 7/2 : 4/3 : 6/5. After 4 months, A increases his share 50%. If the total profit at the end of one year be Rs. 21,600, then B's share in the profit is:
A.Rs. 2100
B.Rs. 2400
C.Rs. 3600
D.Rs. 4000
Answer
Explanation:
Ratio of initial investments =7/2:4/3:6/5= 105 : 40 : 36.
Let the initial investments be 105x, 40x and 36x.
A : B : C =105x x 4 +(150/100)x 105x x 8: (40x x 12) : (36x x 12)
= 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9.
7. A and B invest Rs.150000 and Rs.200000 in a business respectively. A withdraws an amount of Rs.50000 after 6 months. B withdraws an amount of Rs.50000 after 8 months. If the profit earned is Rs. 74000, find A’s share of the profit.

D. Rs.40000
Answer
Explanation:
A:B = [(150000*6)+(100000*6)] : [(200000*8)+(150000*4)]
= 15:22 A's share
= (15/37)*74000
= Rs.30000
8. Manoj received Rs.6000 as his share out of the total profit of Rs.9000 which he and Ramesh earned at the end of one year. If Manoj invested Rs.120000 for 6 months, whereas Ramesh invested his amount for the whole year, what was the amount invested by Ramesh?
A.Rs. 6000
B.Rs. 4000
C.Rs. 10000
D.Rs. 5000

14. Three partners A, B, and C started a business. B's Capital is four times C's capital and twice A's capital is equal to thrice B's capital. If the total profit is Rs.16500 at the end of a year, Find out B's share in it.
A. 4000
B. 5000
C. 6000
D. 7000
Answer
Explanation:
Suppose C's capital = x then
B's capital = 4x (Since B's Capital is four times C's capital)
A's capital = 6x (Since twice A's capital is equal to thrice B's capital)
A: B: C =6 x : 4x : x
= 6 : 4 : 1
B's share = 16500 * (4/11) = 1500*4 = 6000
15. A, B and C rent a pasture. A grazed his 35 cows for 20 days, B grazed his 20 cows for 30 days and C grazed his 30 cows for 15 days. If A paid Rs.1050 as rent, find the total rent paid by them.
A. Rs.2625
