Solution
1.Total equivalent capital of A for 1 month
= 5x × 12 + 8x × 12 = 156x
Total equivalent capital of B for 1 month
= 6x × 24 = 144x
Total equivalent capital of C for 1 month
= 8x × 12 + 4x × 12 = 144x
Required ratio
= 156x : 144x : 144x
= 13 : 12 : 12

2.Ratio of the equivalent capitals of Prakash, Sunil and Anil for 1 month
= (11 × 36) : (16.5 × 36) : (8.25 × 36)
= 4 : 6 : 3
Anil's share in the profit
= [3/(4 + 6 + 3)] × 19.5 = Rs.4.5 lakhs
50% of 4.5 lakhs = Rs.2.25 lakhs

3.Required difference
= [(7/11 × 2) - (4/11 × 3)] × 73689
= Rs.13398

4.Ratio of equivalent capitals for 1 month
= (18000 × 12) : (24000 × 8) : (30000 × 6)
= 18 : 16 : 15
Sum of ratios = 18 + 16 + 15 = 49
Let, the total profit be Rs.x, then
C's profit = 15x/49
now, 15x/49 = 1845
or, x = (1845 × 49)/15 = 6027

5.C's investment = Rs.x thousand
Therefore, ratio of their equivalent capitals for 1 month
= (12 × 24000) : (12 × 28000) : (8 × x × 1000)
= 36 : 42 : x
Sum of ratios = 78 + x
C's share = x/(78+x) × 19950
or, (19950x)/(78 + x) = 7600
or, x = 59280/1235 = Rs.48000

6.Let the total money be x
Half of the total money goes to wife = x/2
2/3rd of the remaining x/2 = x/3 is divided equally among three sons.
The share of each son = 1/3 × x/3 = x/9 and (x/2 - x/3) = x/6 is divided equally among four daughters.
The share of each daughter = 1/4 × x/6 = x/24
Now, x/24 = 20000
or, x = 480000
The share of each son
= 480000/9 = Rs.53,333.33

7.The ratio of capital invested by each partner for 1 month in order to get the same profit
= (36 × 50000) : (30 × 80000)
= 3 : 4
Share of Sunetra = (3/7) × 24500 = Rs.10500

8.Shivkumar's equivalent capital
= (25000 × 3) + (10000 × 2) + (10000 × 1)
= 105000
Rakesh's equivalent capital
= 35000 × 2 = 70000
Suresh's equivalent capital
= 35000 × 1 = 35000
Total profit of Rs.150000 will be distributed in the ratio of their equivalent capitals.
Shivkumar : Rakesh : Suresh
= 105 : 70 : 35
= 3 : 2 : 1
Rakesh's share = [2/(3 + 2 + 1)] × 150000 = Rs.50000

9.Gaining ratio
= (3/5 - 4/9) : (2/5 - 2/9)
= 7 : 8

10.B's investment = (16000 × 5)/8 = Rs.10000
Ratio of equivalent capitals of A, B and C for 1 month
= (3 × 16000 + 9 × 14000) : (10000 × 9) : (9000 × 6)
= 29 : 15 : 9
Now, 9 ≡ 1026
or, 29 = (1026 × 29)/9 = Rs.3306
