Show answer and solution
Answer: (B) ₹16,000
Profit is shared in the ratio of capital × time.
A: 12,000 × 12 = 1,44,000
B: 16,000 × 8 = 1,28,000
C: 20,000 × 6 = 1,20,000
Ratio = 144 : 128 : 120 = 18 : 16 : 15 (sum 49).
B's share = 16/49 × 49,000 = ₹16,000.
A: 12,000 × 12 = 1,44,000
B: 16,000 × 8 = 1,28,000
C: 20,000 × 6 = 1,20,000
Ratio = 144 : 128 : 120 = 18 : 16 : 15 (sum 49).
B's share = 16/49 × 49,000 = ₹16,000.
