Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand that in a partnership, the share of profit is divided according to the ratio of the capital invested and the time for which the capital is invested. This is also known as the Capital-Time contribution.

Step 1: Let's assume the total capital to be 'C' and the total time to be 'T'.

Step 2: Calculate the Capital-Time contribution for each partner.

  • Ravi's Capital-Time contribution = (C/6) * (T/6) = CT/36
  • Harish's Capital-Time contribution = (C/3) * (T/3) = CT/9
  • Gopal's Capital-Time contribution = (C - C/6 - C/3) * T = (C/2)*T = CT/2

Step 3: Calculate the total Capital-Time contribution.

Total Capital-Time contribution = CT/36 + CT/9 + CT/2 = CT/36 + 4CT/36 + 18CT/36 = 23CT/36

Step 4: Calculate the share of each partner.

  • Ravi's share = (CT/36) / (23CT/36) = 1/23
  • Harish's share = (CT/9) / (23CT/36) = 4/23
  • Gopal's share = (CT/2) / (23CT/36) = 18/23

Step 5: Calculate Harish's share in the profit of Rs 5000.

Harish's share in the profit = 4/23 * 5000 = Rs.869.6

So, the share of Harish in the profit of Rs 5000 is Rs.869.6.
