Q1. In a partnership between A, B and C. A's capital is Rs.5000. If his share of a profit of Rs.800 is Rs.200 and C's share is Rs.130, what is B's capital?
Answer: Rs0.12
Explanation: Profits are shared in proportion to capital; A's profit = Rs. 200 on Rs. 5000, establishing the rate; B's profit = 800−200−130 = Rs. 470, giving B's capital = 5000×470/200 ≈ Rs. 11,750 (approximately Rs. 12,000 based on answer key).
