Option B

₹46,154

Solution :

`. Let's construct the response directly. ₹46,154

Correct Option: ₹46,154


Step-by-Step Explanation:

In a partnership business, the profit earned at the end of a period is distributed among the partners in the ratio of the product of their investments and the respective time periods for which the investments were made.


1. Determine the time period for each partner:
The business runs for a total of 1 year (12 months).

Rajesh: Invested ₹1,00,000 right from the start for the entire 12 months.
Suresh: Joined 5 months after the start, so his investment was active for:

12-5=7 months


Tushar: Joined at the end of 7 months from the start, so his investment was active for:

12-7=5 months


2. Calculate the equivalent investment-time product for each partner:

Rajesh's product:

1,00,000×12=12,00,000


Suresh's product:

1,50,000×7=10,50,000


Tushar's product:

2,00,000×5=10,00,000


3. Find the ratio of their profit shares:


Rajesh:Suresh:Tushar=12,00,000:10,50,000:10,00,000


Simplifying the ratio by dividing each term by 50,000:

Rajesh:Suresh:Tushar=24:21:20


4. Calculate Tushar's share of the profit:

Sum of the ratio terms:

24+21+20=65


Total profit = ₹1,50,000.
Tushar's share is given by:

Tushar's Share=2065×1,50,000


Simplifying the fraction:

Tushar's Share=413×1,50,000


Tushar's Share=6,00,0001346,153.85


Approximating to the nearest rupee, Tushar's share is ₹46,154.
