3 partners P, Q, R start a business. Twice P’s capital is equal to thrice Q’s capital and Q’s capital is four times R’s capital. Out of a total profit of Rs. 16,500 at the end of the year, Q’ share is:
Explanation:
Let R = a. Then, Q = 4a and 2P = 3 x 4a = 12a or P = 6a.
∴ P : Q : R = 6a : 4a : a = 6 : 4 : 1.
So, Q’s capital = Rs. [16500 x 4/11] = Rs. 6000
