A started a business with ₹30,000. B joined after 5 months with ₹40,000. At the end of the year, the total profit was ₹80,000. What is the share of A?

  1. ₹40000

  2. ₹42000

  3. ₹45000

  4. ₹49000

Answer: C

Solution

A's investment-time = \(30000 \times 12 = 360000\). B's investment-time = \(40000 \times 7 = 280000\). Profit ratio = \(9:7\). A's share = \(80000 \times 9/16 = 45000\). A's share is ₹45,000.
