Q.In a partnership business, the capital ratio between A and B is 2:3, and the capital ratio between B and C is 6:5. If A's profit share is ₹400, what will be C's profit share? (a) ₹ 500 (b) ₹ 600 (c) ₹ 700 (d) ₹ 800
Answer: A
A:B = 2:3 = (2×2):(3×2) = 4:6 B:C = 6:5 ∴ A:B:C = 4:6:5 = \(\frac{4}{15} : \frac{6}{15} : \frac{5}{15}\) [because 4 + 6 + 5 = 15] ∴ \(\frac{4}{15}\) of the total profit = ₹400 ∴ Total profit = ₹400 × \(\frac{15}{4}\) = ₹1500 ∴ C’s share of the profit = ₹1500 × \(\frac{5}{15}\) = ₹500 (Answer)
