P, 8,000 रुपये के साथ एक व्यवसाय शुरू करता हैं। Q, 5 महीने बाद, 12,000 रुपये के साथ व्यवसाय में शामिल हो जाता है। अगर वर्ष के अंत में लाभ 6,800 रुपये हैं, तो Q का हिस्सा (लगभग) क्या हैं?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
Rs.3,173.33
$P:Q=(8000\times12):(12000\times7)$
=96000 : 84000
=8:7
$Q\text{'s share}=\dfrac{7}{8+7}\times6800$
$=\dfrac{7}{15}\times6800$
=3173.33
Q's share =₹3173.33
