a starts a business with $ 3500 . after 5 months , b joins with a as his partner . after a year , the profit is divided in the ratio 2 : 3 . b ' s contribution in the capital is
ratio in which profit is divided = 2 : 3 assume that b ' s contribution to the capital = b 3500 × 12 : b × 7 = 2 : 3 ⇒ 3500 × 12 × 3 = 2 × b × 7 ⇒ b = 3500 × 12 × 3 / 2 × 7 = 500 × 6 × 3 = 9000 answer : b
divide(divide(multiply(multiply(3500, const_12), 3), 2), subtract(const_12, 5))
