Q6 of 46 Page 175

Two friends A and B start a joint business with a capital 60,000. If A’s share is twice that of B, how much have each invested?

Let,B share X and A share 2X.


According to the problem,


⇒ X + 2X =60,000


⇒ 3X = 60,000


⇒ X = 20000


∴ B share X = 20000


∴ A share 2X = 2 × 20000 =40000
