Important Questions with Short Tricks on Partnership

Question 1: A starts a business with Rs 21,000/- and later B joins him with Rs 36,000/-. After how many months did B join if the profit is distributed in the equal ratio?

(1) 5

(2) 7

(3) 6

(4) 9

Solution:

A : B = 21000 x 12 : 36000 x x

Ratio = 1 : 1 (as profit is equal)

21000 x 12 = 36000 x x

X = 7 Months

B joins after 5 months

Short Trick:

A : B

7 : 12 (Amount)

12: 7 (Time must be)

So that ratio remains 1 : 1

B joined after = 12 – 7 = 5 months

Question 2: Beena and Meena started a boutique investing amounts of Rs 35,000 and Rs 56,000 respectively. If Beena's share in the profit earned by them is Rs 45,000, then what is the total profit earned?

(1) 81,000

(2) 1,27,000

(3) 72,000

(4) 1,17,000

Solution: Let the total profit earned be Rs x

Ratio of investment

Sum of ratio = 5 + 8 = 13

Profit of Beena =

(1) Rs. 7500

(2) Rs. 8000

(3) Rs. 8500

(4) Rs. 9000

Solution:

Let B's capital be Rs. x.

Then, (3500 * 12)/7x = 2/3

14x = 126000

x = 9000

Question 4: Four milkmen hires a pasture. A has 18 cows that graze for 4 months, B has 25 cows that graze for 2 months, C has 28 cows that graze for 5 months and D has 21 cows that graze for 3 months. If A pays Rs 360 then what is the rent of the pasture?

(1) Rs 1625

(2) Rs 1240

(3) Rs 1340

(4) Rs 2260

Solution:

72 + 50 + 140 + 63 = 325

If 72x = 360/-

Then 325 x is the rent of the pasture

i.e. = Rs 1625/-

Other Method:

360 Rs 1625/-

Total Rent = 325 x 5 = Rs 1625 (A pays 360/

Total Rent = 325 x 5 = Rs 1625 (A pays 360/- which is 72 x 5
