Quant Quiz - Topic: Partnership

Q1)-Three partners A, B , C start a business. Twice A's capital is equal to thrice B's capital and B's capital is four times C's capital . Out of a total profit of Rs. 16,500 at the end of the year, B's share is

Rs 4000

RS 6000

Rs 7500

Rs 6600

Ans.- B
Let C = x. Then B =4x and 2A = 3 X 4x = 12x or A= 6x
A : B : C =6x : 4x :x = 6 : 4 : 1
So B's capital is ( 16500 X 4/11) = Rs 6000

Q2)-If 4 (A's Capital) = 6(B's capital) = 10 (C's capital) , then out of a profit of Rs 4650, C will receive :

Rs 465

Rs 900

Rs 1550

Rs 2250

Ans.- B
LEt 4A = 6B = 10C = k
Then, A : B : C = k/4 : k/6 : k/10 = 15 : 10 : 6
Hence , C's share = rs ( 4650 X 6/31) = Rs 900

Q3)-A , B and C enter into partnership. A invests some money at the beginning , B invests double the amount after 6 months and C invests thrice the amount after 8 months If the annual profit be Rs 27000, C's share is

Rs 8625

Rs 9000

Rs 10800

Rs 11250

Ans.- B
Let A's investment be Rs x.
Then, Ratio of capitals = (x X 12) : (2x X 6) : (3x X 4)= 1 : 1 : 1
C's Share = Rs ( 27000 X 1/3) =Rs 9000

Q4)-A, B , C hired a car for Rs 520 and used it for 7 , 8 and 11 hours respectively. Hire charges paid by B were

Rs 140

Rs 160

Rs 45

Rs 50

Rs 55

Rs 60

Ans.- A
A : B : C = 10 x 7 : 12 x 5 : 15 x 3= 14 : 12 :9
C's rent= Rs ( 175 x 9/35) =rs 45

Q6)-In a business A and C invested amounts in the ratio 2 : 1 , whereas the ratio between amounts invested by A and B was 3 : 2. If Rs 157300 was their profit, how much did B receive ?

Rs 24200

Rs 36300

Rs 48400

Rs 72600

Ans.- C
A : B = 3 : 2
B : A = 2 : 3 = 4 : 6 and A : C = 2 : 1 = 6 : 3
So , B : A : C = 4 : 6 : 3
B's share = Rs ( 157300 x 4/13 ) = Rs 48400

Q7)-A and B started a partnership business investing some amount in the ratio of 3 : 5. C joined them after six months with an amount equal to that of B. In what proportion should the profit at the end of one year be distributed among A , B and C ?

Rs 129

Rs 144

Rs 156

Rs 168

Ans.- B
Ratio of initial investments = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 = 6 : 4 : 3
Let their initial investments be 6x , 2x and 3x respectively.
A : B : C = ( 6x X 2 + 3x X 10 ) : (4x X 12) : ( 3x X 12) = 42 : 48 : 36 = 7 : 8 : 6
B's share = Rs ( 378 x 8/21) =Rs 144

Q9)-A , B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio 7/2 : 4/3 : 6/5. After 4 months , A increases his share by 50 % . If the total profit at the end of one year be Rs 21600. then B's share in the profit is

Rs 2100

Rs 2400

Rs 3600

Let the initial investments be 105x , 40x and 36x
A : B : C= ( 105x X 4 + 150/100 X 105x X 8) : (40x X 12) : (36x X 12)
=35 : 10 : 9
Hence, B's share = Rs (21600 X 10/54) =Rs 4000
