A and B start a business by investing their capitals in the ratio of 2⁄3 : 3⁄8. After 4 months, A reduced his capital by 50% and B increased his capital by one-third. What will be the share (in ₹ lakhs) of B in a total profit of ₹39 lakhs, after 1 year?

  • A18.6
  • B17.2
  • C19.8
  • D13.2
Correct answer: C

Explanation

Ratio of capitals = 2/3 : 3/8 = 16 : 9. A: 16 × 4 + 8 × 8 = 128. B: 9 × 4 + 12 × 8 = 132. B’s share = 132/260 × 39 = ₹19.8 lakhs.
