Correct Answer: 8,64,000
Solution : In a business partnership, the share of profit is proportional to the product of the capital invested and the time for which the capital is invested. Let the capital invested by B and C as $x$ and $y$ respectively. The time for B to invest their capital = 12 – 4 = 8 months The time for C to invest their capital = 12 – 6 = 6 months According to the question, $⇒\frac{54000 \times 12}{x \times 8}=\frac{1}{4}$ $⇒x=54000\times 6$ $⇒x=324000$ And, $⇒\frac{54000 \times 12}{y \times 6}=\frac{1}{5}$ $⇒y=54000\times 10$ $⇒y=540000$ The sum of the capital invested by B and C = 324000 + 540000 = Rs. 8,64,000 Hence, the correct answer is 8,64,000.
