Alok started a business with Rs. 75000. After 3 months Chandan also joined him with Rs. 60000. If at the end of the year, the profit is Rs. 16000. What is the share of Chandan in the profit?
Correct Answer: Rs. 6000
Explanation:
Ratio between the investment of Alok and Chandan
= (75000 x 12) : (60000 x 9)
= 900000 : 540000
= 90 : 54 = 5 : 3
Total profit = Rs. 16000
∴ Chandan's share = [3/(5 + 3)] x 16000
= Rs. 6000
