The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Understand the Investment Ratio A and B invested in the ratio of 3:2. This means if A invests 3 parts, B invests 2 parts. ### Step 2: Calculate the Effective Investment Both A and B invested for 6 months. Therefore, we need to consider the investment in terms of "investment amount × time". - A's effective investment = 3 (parts) × 6 (months) = 18 - B's effective investment = 2 (parts) × 6 (months) = 12 ### Step 3: Determine the Total Effective Investment Ratio Now we can express the total effective investment ratio: - A's investment = 18 - B's investment = 12 Thus, the overall profit ratio is 18:12, which simplifies to 3:2. ### Step 4: Calculate Total Profit The total profit is given as Rs. 5000. ### Step 5: Find the Total Number of Parts The total number of parts in the profit sharing is the sum of the parts invested by A and B: - Total parts = 3 (A's parts) + 2 (B's parts) = 5 parts. ### Step 6: Calculate the Value of One Part To find the value of one part, we divide the total profit by the total number of parts: - Value of one part = Total Profit / Total Parts = 5000 / 5 = Rs. 1000. ### Step 7: Calculate B's Profit Share B's share is 2 parts. Therefore, B's profit share can be calculated as: - B's Profit = Value of one part × B's parts = 1000 × 2 = Rs. 2000. ### Final Answer B's profit share is Rs. 2000. ---
