A, B and C enter into partnership. A invests 3 times as much as B invests and B invests two-thirds of what C invests. At the end of the year, the profit earned is ₹ 6600. What is the share of B?
Answer
No answer key was printed for this question.
Explanation
Let C's capital $=₹x$. Then, B's capital $=₹\frac{2}{3}x$. A's capital $=₹\left(3\times\frac{2}{3}x\right)=₹2x$. $\therefore$ Ratio of their capitals $=2x:\frac{2}{3}x:x=6:2:3$. Hence, B's share $=₹\left(6600\times\frac{2}{11}\right)=₹1200$.
