Question

A and B starts a business with Rs.8000 each, and after 4 months, B withdraws half of his capital . How should they share the profits at the end of the 18 months?

Answer 1

A. 18:11
B. 22:13
C. 23:12
D. 11:9

Explanation:

A invests Rs.8000 for 18 months, but B invests Rs.8000 for the first 4 months and then withdraws Rs.4000. So, the investment of B for remaining 14 months is Rs.4000 only.
A : B
8000*18 : (8000*4) + (4000*14)
14400 : 88000
A:B = 18:11

Correct Answer: 18:11 ✔
