A, B, C started a business by investing Rs.6000, Rs.9000 and Rs.12,000 respectively. If at the end of the year the business earned a profit of Rs.3600 How should they divide the profit?

Explanation:

A’s investment Rs.6000

B’s investment Rs.9000

C’s investment Rs.12000

A : B : C’s investment ratio = 6000 : 9000 : 12000 = 6 : 9 : 12 = 2 : 3 : 4

Hence profit Rs.3600 is to be divided in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4

A/’s profit = 3600× 2\9=Rs.800

B/s profit = 3600× 3\9=Rs.1200

C’s profit = 3600× 4\9=Rs.1600
