Q.At the beginning of the year, A and B jointly started a business by investing ₹24,000 and ₹30,000 respectively. After five months, A added another ₹12,000 to the business. At the end of the year, the total profit from the business was ₹14,030. Determine each person's share of the profit.

∴ The ratio of A and B's capital investment \[ = 24000 \times 5 + (24000 + 12000) \times 7 : 30000 \times 12 = 120000 + 252000 : 360000 = 372 : 360 = 31 : 30 = \frac{31}{61} : \frac{30}{61} \quad [∵ 31 + 30 = 61] \] ∴ A's share of the profit \[ = 14030 \times \frac{31}{61} = ₹7130 \] And B's share of the profit \[ = 14030 \times \frac{30}{61} = ₹6900 \]
