A starts business with a capital of Rs. 1200. B and C join with some investments after 3 and 6 months respectively. If at the end of a year, the profit is divided in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5 respectively. What is B’s investment in the business?
Explanation:
1200 × 12 : x × 9 : y × 6 = 2 : 3 : 5
⇒ (1200 × 12) / (x × 9) = 2/3
⇒ x = 2400
Hence, option (a).
