#4 Model of Partnership Questions

Some Other Type of Questions

Example 4.

What amount of money is divided between Ashok, Bindusara and Chandragutpa if Bindusara and Chandragupta together get Rs. 100 and Ashok gets twice as much as Bindusara while Chandragupta with Ashok gets Rs. 150?

Answer -

(For ease of the solution take Ashok,Bindusara and Chandragupta as A, B and C)

Given that

B + C = 100

A + C = 150

A = 2B

2B + C = 150

B + (B + C) = 150    [Since B + C = 100]

B = 150 - 100 = 50

A + B + C = (A + C) + B = 150 + 50 = Rs. 200

Example 5.

In a partnership, A invests 1/6 of the capital for 1/6 of the time, B invests 1/3 of the capital for 1/3 of the time and C, the rest of the capital for whole time. Find A's share of the total profit of Rs. 2300.

Answer -

Capital of C = 1 - 1/6 - 1/3 = 1/2

Let the total time be 12 months

A's profit : B's profit : C's profit = MEI of A : MEI of B : MEI of C

Share of Ashok = 1/ 23 × 2300 = Rs. 100

So, above are the some formulas to understand the 'Partnership' chapter. So, Keep the practice and All the Best.
