Suresh started a business with Rs.20,000. Kiran joined him after 4 months with Rs.30,000. After 2 more months, Suresh withdrew Rs.5,000 of his capital and 2 more months later, Kiran brought in Rs.20,000 more. What should be the ratio in which they should share their profits at the end of the year?

21:32
32:21
12:17
17:12
Explanation:

Here capital is not the same.

Suresh invested 20000 for initial 6 months and 15000 for the next 6 months. Hence his term of ratio

$=(20000×6+15000×6)$

Kiran invested Rs.30000 for 4 months and Rs.50000 for next 4 months. Hence his term of ratio

$=(30000×4+50000×4)$

Suresh : Kiran

$=\left(20000\times6+15000\times6\right)$$:\left(30000\times4+50000\times4\right)$

$=\left(20\times6+15\times6\right)$:$\left(30\times4+50\times4\right)$=$\left(20\times3+15\times3\right)$:$\left(30\times2:50\times2\right)$=105:160=21:32
