In a partnership, A invests of the `1/6` capital for `1/6` of the time, B invests `1/3` of the capital for `1/3` of the time and C, the rest of the capital for whole time. Find A's share of the total profit of Rs. 2300.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the investment of each partner and their respective shares of the profit. ### Step 1: Define the total capital Let's assume the total capital is represented as \( C \). ### Step 2: Calculate A's investment A invests \( \frac{1}{6} \) of the capital for \( \frac{1}{6} \) of the time. - A's investment = \( \frac{1}{6}C \) - A's time = \( \frac{1}{6} \) ### Step 3: Calculate B's investment B invests \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the capital for \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the time. - B's investment = \( \frac{1}{3}C \) - B's time = \( \frac{1}{3} \) ### Step 4: Calculate C's investment C invests the remaining capital. - Total capital invested by A and B = \( \frac{1}{6}C + \frac{1}{3}C \) - To combine these, we convert \( \frac{1}{3}C \) to sixths: \[ \frac{1}{3}C = \frac{2}{6}C \] - Therefore, total capital invested by A and B = \( \frac{1}{6}C + \frac{2}{6}C = \frac{3}{6}C = \frac{1}{2}C \) - C's investment = Total capital - (A's investment + B's investment) \[ C's investment = C - \frac{1}{2}C = \frac{1}{2}C \] - C's time = 1 (whole time) ### Step 5: Calculate the effective capital contribution Now we calculate the effective capital contribution for each partner: - A's effective capital = \( \text{Investment} \times \text{Time} = \frac{1}{6}C \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{36}C \) - B's effective capital = \( \text{Investment} \times \text{Time} = \frac{1}{3}C \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{9}C \) - C's effective capital = \( \text{Investment} \times \text{Time} = \frac{1}{2}C \times 1 = \frac{1}{2}C \) ### Step 6: Convert all contributions to a common denominator To compare the contributions, we convert all fractions to a common denominator: - The least common multiple of 36, 9, and 2 is 36. - A's contribution = \( \frac{1}{36}C \) - B's contribution = \( \frac{4}{36}C \) (since \( \frac{1}{9}C = \frac{4}{36}C \)) - C's contribution = \( \frac{18}{36}C \) (since \( \frac{1}{2}C = \frac{18}{36}C \)) ### Step 7: Calculate the total contributions Total contributions = A's contribution + B's contribution + C's contribution \[ = \frac{1}{36}C + \frac{4}{36}C + \frac{18}{36}C = \frac{23}{36}C \] ### Step 8: Find the ratio of contributions The ratio of contributions is: - A : B : C = \( 1 : 4 : 18 \) ### Step 9: Calculate A's share of the profit Total profit = Rs. 2300. A's share of the profit is calculated based on the ratio of contributions: - Total parts = \( 1 + 4 + 18 = 23 \) - A's share = \( \frac{1}{23} \times 2300 \) Calculating A's share: \[ A's \, share = \frac{2300}{23} = 100 \] ### Final Answer A's share of the total profit is Rs. 100. ---
