Q.Three friends—A, B, and C—started a business by investing \(x\), \(2x\), and \(y\) taka respectively. If the profit at the end of the term is \(z\) taka, then what will be A’s share of the profit? (a) ₹ \(\cfrac{xz}{3x+y}\) (b) ₹ \(\cfrac{2xz}{3x+y}\) (c) ₹ \(\cfrac{z}{2x+y}\) (d) ₹\(\cfrac{xyz}{3x+y}\)
Answer: A
The capital contributions of A, B, and C are in the ratio \(x : 2x : y\) \[ = \cfrac{x}{3x + y} : \cfrac{2x}{3x + y} : \cfrac{y}{3x + y} \quad \text{[since } x + 2x + y = 3x + y\text{]} \] If the total profit at the end of the term is ₹\(z\), then A’s share of the profit is: \[ \cfrac{xz}{3x + y} \text{ taka} \]
