A starts business with Rs. 3500 and after 5 months, B joins with A as his partner. After a year, the profit is divided in the ratio 2 : 3. What is B's contribution in the capital?

A Rs. 7500

B Rs. 8000

C Rs. 8500

D Rs. 9000

Solution

Correct Answer: Option D

Let B's capital be Rs. x.

Then, \(\left[\frac{3500\times12}{7x}=\frac23\right]\)

=> 14x = 126000

=> x = 9000.
