Question:

Ankush and Vishal entered into partnership with capitals in the ratio 4 : 5. After 3 months, Ankush withdrew 1/4th of his capital and Vishal withdrew 1/5th of his capital. The gain at the end of 10 months was Rs. 1520. Ankush's share in this profit is:

Explanation:

Let initial investment of Ankush = 4x and that of Vishal = 3x.

Ratio of profits of Ankush and Vishal = $[4 x \times 3 + (4 x - \frac{1}{4} \times 4 x) \times 7]$ : $[5 x \times 3 + (5 x - \frac{1}{5} \times 5 x) \times 7]$

= (12x + 21x) : (15x + 28x) = 33x : 43x = 33 : 43.

Ankush's share = Rs. (1520 × 33/76) = Rs. 660.

Hence, option (c).
