Tanay, Mitali and Megha started a business each investing Rs. 60000 by each of them. After 5 months, Tanay had a medical emergency because of which he had to withdraw Rs. 15000. Because of his act Mitali felt insecure about her money and hence withdrew Rs. 12000. In order to compensate this money Megha deposited Rs.18000 in their joint account. At the end of the year a total profit of Rs.209700 was recorded. Find the share of each of them? Correct Answer Rs. 61,500, Rs. 63,600, Rs. 84,600 ⇒ ∵ Tanay invested Rs.60000 for 5 months and then withdraw Rs. 15000 after 5 months ⇒ His investment now = 60000 – 15000 = 45000 for remaining months ie. 12 – 5 = 7 months ⇒ Similarly, Mitali’s investment = 60000 – 12000 = 48000 for 12 – 5 = 7 months ⇒ Ratio of investment made by Tanay, Mitali and Megha = 60000 × 5 + 45000 × 7 : 60000 × 5 + 48000 × 7 : 60000 × 5 + 78000 × 7 ⇒ 615000 : 636000 : 846000 ⇒ 205 : 212 : 282 ⇒ Sum parts of the ratio = 205 + 212 + 282 = 699 ⇒ Tanay’s share = 209700 × 205/699 = Rs. 61,500 ⇒ Mitali’s share = 209700 × 212/559 = Rs. 63,600 ⇒ Megha’s share = 209700 × 282/559 = Rs. 84,600 ∴ Answer is Tanay’s share = Rs.61,500 & Mitali’s share = Rs. 63,600, Megha’s share = Rs. 84,600
