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

A Tk. 7500

B Tk. 8000

C Tk. 8500

D Tk. 9000

Solution

Correct Answer: Option D

Let B's capital be Tk. x.

Then, ((3500 x 12)/ 7x = 2/3

=> 14x = 126000

=> x = 9000.
