Partnership is an important chapter in Quantitative section of IBPS and other examination.

This is a very prominent part of most of the exams. These questions are really scoring as well because these questions are really scoring. Check below what this topic is about and how are typical questions solved.

What is Partnership?

When two or more people join hands to create a start-up or some business it’s called a ‘partnership’ business. Typically, they invest some capital and earn some profit. And, this profit is distributed among partners either in some prefixed ratio or the ratio of their investment. In exams, mostly profit distribution is based on later type. The calculation for profit based on investment is done as shown below:

P₁: P₂ = C₁×T₁: C₂×T₂

Here, P₁ = Profit for Partner 1.
C₁ = Capital by Partner 1.
T₁ = Time period for which Partner 1 invested his capital.
P₂ = Profit for Partner 2.
C₂ = Capital by Partner 2.
T₂ = Time period for which Partner 2 invested his capital.

Typical Question Methodology:

1) We are given the amount of investment by two partners for particular time like A and B invested Rs.1500 and Rs.2000 respectively. After 4 months, they admit C with contribution of Rs.2250. And, B withdraws his contribution after 9 months ⇒ A invested his capital for 12 months while C invested his capital for (12 – 4=) 8 months and B invested for 9 months.
So, according to ratio formula, A: B: C = 1500×12: 2000×9: 2250×8 = 180: 180: 180 (We’ve cancelled out the equal number of zeroes from all the numbers)
⇒ A: B: C = 1: 1: 1

2) Second, we are given the profit at the end of year was Rs 900. What’d B get?
Now, A: B: C =  1: 1: 1
⇒ B’s share = {1/(1+1+1)} =1/3rd of profits = (1/3)*900 =  Rs. 300
We can see that calculating profit isn’t that tricky so we’ll be solving sample questions in a way that would help you in calculating the ratio of profits among partners.

There are two types of partnership.

1. Simple Partnership: In simple partnership, capitals of partners are invested for the same period of time.

2. Compound Partnership: In compound partnership, capitals of partners are invested for the different period of time.

Basic Formulas

If two partners A and B are investing their money to run a business then (Simple Partnership)

 Capital of A : Capital of B = Profit of A : Profit of B

If two partners A and B are investing their money for different period of time to run a business then

(Compound Partnership)

Capital of A × Time period of A : Capital of B × Time period of B

= Profit of A : Profit of B

If n partners are investing for different period of time then

C₁T₁ : C₂T₂ : C₃T₃ : … : C_nT_n = P₁ : P₂ : P₃ : … : P_n

Where C is the capital invested, T is time period of capital invested and P is profit earned.

Shortcut Methods

Rule 1:

If two partners are investing their money C₁ and C₂ for equal period of time and their total profit is P then their shares of profit are

If these partners are investing their money for different period of time

which is T₁ and T₂, then their profits are

Rule 2:

If n partners are investing their money C₁, C₂, …, C_n for equal period of time and their total profit is P then their shares of profit are

If these partners are investing their money for different period of time which

is T₁, T₂,… , T_n then their profits are

  

Question – Raj invested Rs 76000 in a business. After few months Monty joined him and invests Rs 57000. At the end of year both of them share the profits at the ratio of 2:1. After how many months Monty joined Raj ?

Solution – We can simply compute per month investment of both partnership

Raj invested Rs 76,000 for 12 months and Monty invested Rs 57,000 for x months.

Now 76000 × 12 / 57000 × x = 2 :1

⇒ 76 × 12 / 2 = 57x

⇒ x = 8

So Monty invested his money for 8 months and he joined after 4 months.

Question – A and B started a business by investing money in ratio of 5:6. C joined them after few months by sharing an amount equal to B’s share. At the end of year 20% profit was earned which was equal equal to Rs 98,000. How much money was invested by C ?
Solution – 

= First of all we will calculate the weighted ratios

⇒ A = 5 × 12 = 60

⇒ B = 6 × 12 = 72

⇒ C = 6 × 6 = 36

Total investment at the end of year = 98000 × 100/20 = Rs 4,90,000

⇒ Investment by C = 490000 × 36 / 168 × 2 = Rs 210000

Question –A, B and C shared profits in ratio of 5:7:8. They partnered for 14 months, 8 months and 7 months respectively. What was he ratio of their investments ?

Solution – Simply multiply profit sharing ratio with investment ratio to get investment amount ratio.

Let X is the total investment

⇒14 x = 5
⇒ 8 x = 7
⇒ 7x = 8

⇒ Final investment ratio = 20 : 49 : 64

Question – Sita and Geeta started a business by investing Rs. 120000 and Rs.135000 respectively. Find the share of each out of an annual profit of Rs. 35700.

Solution :-

• When investors are there for the different duration of  time in the business , then the investments are calculated for  a unit of time by having ( investment x number of units of time) . Now gain or loss is divided in the ratio of these investments.

Question – Ravi started a business by investing Rs.36000. After 3 months Shayam joined him by investing Rs.36000. Find the share of each in the annual profit of Rs. 37100.

Solution –

Question – Three partners shared the profit in a business in the ratio 5 : 7 : 8. They had partnered for 14 months, 8 months and 7 months respectively. What was the ratio of their investments?

Solution – Let the first partner invests Rs x for 14 months, second partner invests Rs.y for 8 months, Rs z for 7 months.

Sample Questions:

Q1. A contributes one-forth capital for one fourth of time. B contributes one fifth of capital for half of the time. C contributes the remaining capital for the whole time. Find their profit-sharing ratio.

Sol. Part of Capital by:  A = 1/4 ; B = 1/5 ; C gave remaining ⇒ C’s share in capital = 1 – (1/4 + 1/5) = 11/20
Time investment by: A = 1/4; B = 1/2; C = 1 (whole time means full one 1 year)
Using, P₁: P₂ = C₁×T₁: C₂×T₂

⇒ A: B : C =

Now we’ll take LCM of 16, 10 and 20 which is 80 and divided it by each denominator and multiply number thus obtained by each of the respective denominator.
⇒ A: B: C = 5: 8: 44.

 

Q2. A begun a business with Rs.450, after some months B joined him with capital of Rs.300. In the end, the profits were distributed in the ratio of 2:1. After how long did B join?

Sol. Capital by: A = 450, B = 300
Time capital stay invested by: A = 12, B = n(say)
Using, P₁: P₂ = C₁×T₁: C₂×T₂

_{(2/1) = (450 ×12)/(300n)}
⇒ n = 9 months
So, B’s capital was invested for 9 months and he joined after (12 – 9 =) 3 months.

 

Q3. A and B rent a pasture for 10 months. A puts in 100 cows for 8 months. How many can B put in for remaining 2 months, if he pays half as much again as A?

Sol. Here, B has to pay half as much again as A ⇒ If A pays 1 then B pays (1+1/2=) 3/2
So, required ratio = 1: 3/2 ⇒ A: B = 2: 3
Also, number of cows is considered as capital. Let cows brought in by B be ‘n’
So, using, P₁: P₂ = C₁×T₁: C₂×T₂
2: 3 = 100×8: n×2

⇒ n = 600 cows

 

Q4. A, B and C invested capitals in the ratio of 5: 6: 8.At the end of business term, they received the profits in the ratio of 5: 3: 12. Find the ratio of time for which they contributed their capital.

Sol. To solve such questions use formula below:
T_A: T_B: T_C = P_A÷C_A: P_B÷C_B: P_C÷C_C
Here, T_A = Time by A, P_A = Profit for A, C_A=  Capital by A.
T_B= Time by B, P_B = Profit for B, C_B=  Capital by B.
T_C = Time by C, P_C = Profit for C, C_C=  Capital by C.
⇒ T_A: T_B: T_C = 5÷5: 3÷6: 12÷8 = 1: 1/2: 3/2 = 2: 1: 3

 

Q5. Three partners A,B and C had business. A, whose money had been used for 4 months claimed 1/8 profit. B whose money was used for 6 month claimed 1/3 of profit. C had invested Rs. 1560 for 8 months. How much did A and B contribute?
Sol.

⇒ n = Rs. 720
So, A invested Rs 720. Similarly, we can find the amount of investment by B.

Q6. A and B invested in the ratio of 3: 2. If 5% of total profit goes to charity and A got Rs 855 as his share then find the total profit?
Sol. In such questions, use this formula,

   X : (X+400) : (X-200)
   So (X+X-200)/(X + X+400 + X-200) * 13500 = 8100
   Solve, X = 1600
   So ratio of profit share is
   1600 : 2000 : 1400 = 8 : 10 : 7
   So profit share of Prisha = 10/25 * 13500 = Rs 5400
4. Preeti, Anu and Aarti entered into a business. Preeti invested Rs 2500 for some months, Anu invested Rs 3000 for 2 more months than Preeti and Aarti invested Rs 3500 for 3 months less than Anu.

   A) 3 months
   B) 5 months
   C) 4 months
   D) 6 months
   E) 2 months
   View Answer

   Option C
   Solution:
   Preeti : Anu : Aarti
   25000*x : 3000*(x+2) : 3500*(x-1)
   5x : 6(x+2) : 7(x-1)
   So (6x+12)/(5x + 6x+12 + 7x-7) * 19000 = 8400
   Solve, x = 5
   So Aarti invested money for 4 months

Directions (5-7): A, B and C started a business by investing Rs 800, Rs 1600 and Rs 2000 respectively. After a quarter they invested amounts in a ratio 1 : 4 : 2. After another quarter, they invested amounts in ratio 3 : 2 : 3.In the last quarter the ratio of investments was same as in 2^nd quarter. Also in the last quarter, the respective amounts of A, B and C was double than the respective amounts invested in 2^nd quarter. The total investment of C before 4^th quarter was Rs 1400 more than that of A during same duration. Also ratio of B’s share in profit to total profit at the end of year was 66 : 153.

5. Find the total investment of A, B and C.
   A) Rs 10,200
   B) Rs 11,300
   C) Rs 9,800
   D) Rs 10,080
   E) Rs 11,090
   View Answer

   Option A
   Solution:
   Quarters means 3 months each
   Ratio of investments in 2^nd quarter – 1 : 4 : 2, so let amounts – x, 4x, 2x
   Ratio of investments in 3^rd quarter – 3 : 2 : 3, so let amounts – 3y, 2y, 3y
   In last quarter, respective amount is double then in 2^nd quarter, so amounts – 2x, 8x, 4x
   In the last quarter the ratio of investments was same as in 2^nd quarter. —  this is not required to solve question.
   Given:
   (2000 + 2x + 3y) = 1400 + (800+x+3y)
   Solve, x = Rs 200
   Now ratio of profit share —A : B : C is
   800*3 + x*3 + 3y*3 + 2x*3 : 1600*3 + 4x*3 + 2y*3 + 8x*3 : 2000*3 + 2x*3 + 3y*3 + 4x*3
   3 gets cancelled, gives
   (800+3x+3y) : (1600+12x+2y) : (2000+6x+3y)
   Put x = 200 gives
   1400+3y : 4000+2y : 3200+3y
   Now given
   (4000+2y)/(1400+3y + 4000+2y + 3200+3y) = 66/153
   (2000+y)/(4300+4y) = 22/51
   Solve, y = Rs 200
   So now the total investment is—(800+3x+3y) + (1600+12x+2y) + (2000+6x+3y) = (4400 + 21x + 8y)
   put x = 200, y = 200, total investment = Rs 10,200

   View Answer

   Option D
   Solution:
   800, 1600, 2000 as it is for 3 months, and then for next 9 months x, 4x and 2x
   So ratio of profit share – A : B : C is
   800*3 + 200*9 : 1600*3 + 800*9 : 2000*3 + 400*9
   7 : 20 : 16
   So profit share of A = 7/43 * 19350 = Rs 3150
7. If the respective investments in third quarter was changed and this was in ratio 2 : 4 : 1 (other investments being the same), then what would be the total investment of all three in third quarter, if the average investment of all A B and C was Rs 3100 for whole year?
   A) Rs 700
   B) Rs 800
   C) Rs 500
   D) Rs 900
   E) None of these
   View Answer

   Option A
   Solution:
   New investments – 3z, 2z, and 2z
   Investment of A = (800+3x+2z), B = (1600+12x+4z) and C =(2000+6x+1z)
   Put x = 200
   A = 1400+2z, B = 4000+4z, C = 3200+1z
   Now given (1400+2z + 4000+4z + 3200+1z)/3 = 3100
   Solve, z = Rs 100
   So total investment for quarter 3 = 2z+4z+z = 7z = Rs 700

Directions (8-10): A, B and C started a business. They invested amounts in the ratio 1 : 3 : 2 respectively for 8 months. After this they invested amounts in ratio 2 : 3 : 4 respectively for 4 months. The average investment of A and B is Rs 2800 while average investment of B and C is Rs 3800.

8. Find the total investment of C?
   A) Rs 4000
   B) Rs 5000
   C) Rs 6000
   D) Rs 4500
   E) Rs 3500
   View Answer

   Option A
   Solution:
   A : B : C is
   x*8 + 2y*4 : 3x*8 + 3y*4 : 2x*8 + 4y*4 gives (2x+2y) : (6x+3y) : (4x+4y)
   Given::
   (x+2y+3x+3y)/2 = 2800
   4x+5y = 5600
   Also (3x+3y+2x+4y)/2 = 3800
   5x+7y = 7600
   Solve both equations, x = 400, y = 800
   So total investment of C = (2x+4y) = Rs 4000
9. If B’s investment for both the terms (4 months and 8 months) was swapped, then find the total profit share of B and C if annual profit is Rs 46,200.
   A) Rs 45,600
   B) Rs 32,800
   C) Rs 43,600
   D) Rs 37,800
   E) None of these
   View Answer

   Option D
   Solution:
   B’s investment for 8 months = 3x = 3*400 = Rs 1200 and for 4 months = 3y = 3*800 = Rs2400
   Now swapped, means for 8 months = Rs 2400 and for 4 months is Rs 1200
   So now ratio of A : B : C is
   400*8 + 1600*4 : 2400*8 + 1200*4 : 800*8 + 3200*4
   2 : 5 : 4
   So required profit = (5+4)/(2+5+4) * 46200 = Rs 37,800
10. If A’s share in annual profit is Rs 9030, find the total profit after a year.
    A) Rs 41,390
    B) Rs 45,150
    C) Rs 42,610
    D) Rs 46,240
    E) Rs 43,170
    View Answer

    Option B
    Solution:
    Ratio of profit share is
    (2x+2y) : (6x+3y) : (4x+4y)
    x = 400, y = 800
    So ratio becomes
    1 : 2 : 2
    So 1/5 * x = 9030
    Total profit = x = Rs 45,150

  B) Rs 5700
  C) Rs 6500
  D) Rs 6400
  E) Rs 4700
  View Answer

   

  Option D
  Solution: 
  Investments of Rohit : Lohit : Mohit = 1/3 : 1/2 : 2/5 = 10 : 15 : 12
  After 8 months Mohit withdrew 1/2 , so 1/2 * 12 = 6, so invested = 12-6 = 6 for another 4 months
  So now ratio of shares of Rohit : Lohit : Mohit is
  10 * 12 : 15 * 12 : 12 * 8 + 6 * 4
  2 : 3 : 2
  Let x is total profit. So (2+3)/(2+3+2) * x = 16000
  x = 22400
  So share of Mohit = 2/7 * 22400 = Rs 6400
