A starts business with Rs. 35,000 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?  Choose one
A) 22378
B) 279889
C) 2788
D) 9000
E) 2882
Explanation:   Ratio in which profit is to be divided = 2 : 3   Assume that B's contribution to the capital = b   ⇒ 3500 × 12 : b × 7 = 2 : 3   ⇒ 3500 × 12/7 b = 2/3   ⇒ b = (3500 × 12 × 3)/(2 × 7) = 500 × 6 × 3 = 9000   Answer: 9000
