Ramani started a business with a capital of ₹8,000. Vanita joined the business after 4 months with a capital of ₹6,000. At the end of one year of business if they earned a profit of ₹3,600, then the share of Vanita is:

Correct option is C

Given:

Ramani’s capital = ₹8,000

Vanita’s capital = ₹6,000 (joined after 4 months)

Total profit = ₹3,600

Business duration = 12 months

Solution:

Ramani’s investment time = 12 months → 8000 × 12 = 96,000

Vanita’s investment time = 8 months → 6000 × 8 = 48,000

Profit ratio = 96000 : 48000 = 2 : 1

Vanita’s share $$= \frac{1}{3} \times 3600 = ₹1,200$$

Alternate Method:

3 unit = 3600

Vanita’s share   1 unit = 1200
