      Answer : 1) 3300
      Solution : Clearly, Manish invested his capital for 12 months, Vibhor for 9 months and Vivek for 3 months.
      So, ratio of their capitals = (45000 * 12) : (60000 * 9) : (90000 * 3)
      = 540000 : 540000 : 270000 = 2:2:1.
      Manishs share = Rs. [16500 * 2/5] = Rs. 6600; Vibhors share = Rs. [16500 * 2/5] = Rs. 6600; Viveks share = Rs. [16500 * 1/5] = Rs. 3300.

    • ( 2 ) Rs 4830 is divided among Abhishek, Dishant and Prashant such that if Abhishek's share diminishes by Rs 5, Dishant's share diminishes by Rs 10 and Prashant's share diminishes by Rs 15, their shares will be in the ratio 5:4:3. Find the Dishant's original share.

    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 1) Rs 1610
      Solution : Let actual share of Abhishek, Dishant and Prashant be A, D , P respectively.
      A + D + P = 4830
      Hence, A's, D's and P's share are diminished by Rs 5, Rs 10 and Rs 15, their net share will be Rs.4800.
      Dishant's diminished share = 412 * 4800 = Rs 1600
      Hence, Dishant actual share = Rs 1600 + Rs 10 = Rs 1610.

    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 1) 4888.88
      Solution : Let, x be the total profit.
      And, Their investment ratio = 3600:4400:2800=9:11:7.
      So, A gets total amount of profit Rs. 8000 i.e
      => 8000 = (1/4) * x + (9/27) * (3/4) * x = (1/2) * x.
      => x = Rs 16,000.
      Therefore, B's profit = (11/27) * (3/4) * 16,000 = Rs 4888.88.

    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 2) Rs 12
      Solution : If they shared equally, each got 4 eggs (12/3 = 4).
      So, 1st man gave him 3 eggs and 2nd man gave him 1 egg .
      Ratio of their share is 3 : 1.
      So, 1st man gets (3/4) * 24 = Rs 18.
      And, 2nd man gets (1/4) * 24 = Rs 6.
      The required difference is 18 - 6 i.e 12.

      And, A's share = Rs.x4
      A:B:C = x4 : x2 : x = 1 : 2 : 4
      Hence, C's share = Rs.(700 * 4/7) = Rs.400
