The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the effective capital contribution of each partner based on the time their money was invested in the partnership. ### Step 1: Determine the initial contributions and their time periods - **Sita's Contribution**: Rs 5,000 for 12 months. - **Gita's Contribution**: Rs 4,000 for 1 month, then she withdraws 1/4th of her contribution (Rs 1,000), leaving her with Rs 3,000 for the remaining 11 months. - **Rita's Contribution**: Rs 7,000 for 9 months (since she joins after Gita withdraws). ### Step 2: Calculate the effective capital for each partner To find the effective capital, we multiply the amount contributed by the time period (in months). - **Sita's Effective Capital**: \[ 5000 \times 12 = 60000 \] - **Gita's Effective Capital**: - For the first month: \[ 4000 \times 1 = 4000 \] - For the next 11 months (after withdrawing Rs 1,000): \[ 3000 \times 11 = 33000 \] - Total for Gita: \[ 4000 + 33000 = 37000 \] - **Rita's Effective Capital**: \[ 7000 \times 9 = 63000 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total effective capital Now we sum up the effective capitals of all partners: \[ 60000 + 37000 + 63000 = 160000 \] ### Step 4: Determine the profit-sharing ratio Now we find the ratio of their effective capitals: - Sita: 60000 - Gita: 37000 - Rita: 63000 The ratio is: \[ 60000 : 37000 : 63000 \] To simplify this ratio, we can divide each term by 1000: \[ 60 : 37 : 63 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the total parts in the ratio Now, we add the parts of the ratio: \[ 60 + 37 + 63 = 160 \] ### Step 6: Determine Rita's share of the profit Given that the total profit is Rs 1,218, we can find Rita's share: - Rita's part in the ratio is 63. - To find Rita's share of the profit: \[ \text{Rita's Share} = \left(\frac{63}{160}\right) \times 1218 \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Rita's Share} = \frac{63 \times 1218}{160} = \frac{76614}{160} = 478.84 \] ### Final Answer Rita's share in the profit is approximately Rs 478.84. ---
