In a partnership, A invested Rs. 75,000, B invested Rs. 1,00,000, and C invested Rs. 1,50,000. After 1 year, B withdrew Rs. 20,000 from his capital. At the end of 3 years, the total profit is Rs. 4,50,000. What is C's share in the profit?

  1. Rs. 1,50,000

  2. Rs. 1,80,453.89

  3. Rs. 2,00,000

  4. Rs. 2,16,577.54

Answer: D

Solution

Profit is divided in the ratio of capital multiplied by time. A's investment = \(75000\times3=225000\). B's investment = \(100000\times1+80000\times2=260000\). C's investment = \(150000\times3=450000\). Investment ratio = \(225:260:450=45:52:90\). C's share = \(\frac{90}{187}\times450000\) = ₹216,577.54 approximately. Trick: Calculate capital multiplied by time for each partner before dividing the profit.
