D.Rs.350
[su_accordion]
Answer
Answer- C(Rs.400)
Explanation : Ratio of investments =1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 , LCM of 2, 3, 4 = 12 ,multiply ratios with 12 we get 6 : 4 : 3 , so,initial investment be 6x, 2x and 3x so, we can write: A : B :C
=(6x X 2 + 3x X 10 ) : (4x X 12) :(3x X 12) = 7:8:6
B’s share= (8/21) x 1050 = 400
[/su_accordion] - A started a business with Rs. 21,000 and is joined afterwars by B with Rs. 36,000. After how many months did B join if the profits at the end of the year are divided equally?

C.5 months
D.7 months
[su_accordion]
Answer

[/su_accordion] - Anju and Bimal are partners in a business. Anju contributes 1 / 4 of the capital for 15 months and Bimal received 2 / 3 of the profit, for how long Bimal’s money was used ?
A.5 months
B.3months
C.8 months
D.10 months
[su_accordion]
Answer
Answer- D (10 months)
Explanation- Let total profit is x
Then Bimal’s share in profit= (2/3)x
so anju’s share in profit= x- (2/3)x =x/3
so,we get ratios of profit of Anju :Bimal :: 1:2
Let total capital invested be Rs P and Anju’s money was used for 15 months while Bimal’s money was used for b months .
then, (1/4)P X 15 divide by (3/4)P x b = 1/2 [ Capital x time =profit]
so,we get b=10
Bimal’s money was used for 10 months
[/su_accordion] - In a business P and R invested amounts in the ratio 2 : 1, whereas the ratio between amounts invested by P and Q was 3 : 2 . If Rs. 2,236 was their profit, how much amount did Q receive ?
A.Rs.650
B.Rs.688
c.Rs.588
D.Rs.490
[su_accordion]
Answer
Answer- B(Rs.688 )
Solution : P : Q = 3 : 2 , P : R = 2 : 1 [given]
Q : P = 2 : 3 [reverse], Q : P = 4 : 6 [multiply by 2]
Now, P : R = 2 : 1
P : R = 6 : 3 [multiply by 3]
P : Q =6 : 4 [after x3]
, So Q : P : R = 4 : 6 : 3
or, P : Q : R = 6 : 4 : 3
Q’s share= 4/13 x 2236=Rs.688
[/su_accordion] - A, B and C rent a land. A puts 10 tractors for 7 months, B puts 12 tractors for 5 months and C puts 15 tractors for 3 months . If the rent of the land is Rs. 175000, how much must C pay as his share of rent?

B.50000
C.57000
D.64000
[su_accordion]
Answer
Answer – A (45000)
Explanation – A : B : C = 10 x 7 : 12 x 5 : 15 x 3
= 70 : 60 : 45
= 14 : 12 : 9.
∴ C’s rent = Rs. [175000 x 9/35] = Rs. 45000.

[/su_accordion] - Ashok being the sleeping partner receives 1/10th of profit and the remaining is divided between pramod and prakash in the ratio of 1:2..If the difference between the profit shares of Ashok and Prakash is Rs.2000.What is pramod’s share in Rs.?
A.Rs.1800
B.Rs.2200
C.Rs.1200
D.Rs.1500
[su_accordion]
Answer
Answer:- C (1200)
Explanation:-
let total profit =x
ashok’s share in profit is (1/10)x
remaining profit = x= (1/10)x= (9/10)x
pramod’s share= 1/3 x (9/10)x = (3/10 )x
Prakash’s share= 2/3 x (9/10)x = (6/10)x
ashok – prakash= (6/10)x -(1/10)x = (5/10)x
5/10 x = 2,000 so, x= 4000
pramod’s share= (3/10) x 4000=1200
[/su_accordion] - P and Q invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and P’s share is Rs. 855, the total profit is:
A.Rs. 1435
B.Rs. 1500
C.Rs. 1538
D.Rs. 1580
[su_accordion]
Answer
Answer- B (Rs.1500)
Explanation:
Let the total profit be Rs. 100.
After paying to charity, A’s share = Rs. 95 x 3/5 = Rs. 57.
If A’s share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.
If A’s share Rs. 855, total profit =(100/57) x 855 = 1500.
