Alpana started a business investing Rs. 45,000. After 3 months Priyanka joined her with a capital of Rs. 60,000. After another 6 months Kalpana joined them with a capital of Rs. 90,000. At the end of the year, they made a profit of Rs. 16,500. Find the share of Kalpana.
Explanation:
Cleraly, Alpana invested her capital for 12 months,
Priyanka for 9 months and Kalpana for 3 months.
So, ratio of their capitals
= (45000 × 12) : (60000 × 9) : (90000 × 3)
⇒ 540000 : 540000 : 270000
⇒ 2 : 2 : 1.
∴ Kalpana's share = Rs[16500 x 1/5]
= 3300
