Question

X, Y and Z enter into a partnership. X invests some money at the beginning. Y invests thrice the amount of X after 4 months and Z invest double the amount of Y after a month from the beginning. If the annual gain be Rs. 450000, then what is the share of Y?

This question was previously asked in
HTET 2025 Level 1 PRT Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

200000

Let X invest an amount X at the beginning for the full 12 months, giving a capital-time product of \(X \times 12 = 12X\).

Y invests \(3X\) starting 4 months after the beginning, so Y's money remains invested for \(12 - 4 = 8\) months, giving \(3X \times 8 = 24X\).

Z invests double Y's amount, that is \(6X\), starting 9 months after the beginning, so Z's money remains invested for \(12 - 9 = 3\) months, giving \(6X \times 3 = 18X\).

The profit-sharing ratio is \(12X : 24X : 18X = 2 : 4 : 3\), with total parts \(9\). Y's share is \(450000 \times \frac{4}{9} = 200000\).
