In partnership problems, each partner's share depends on capital multiplied by time. Questions on this page include partners who subscribe different amounts to a total of Rs. 50,000, partners in a ratio who stay for different numbers of months, and a partner who increases investment partway through the year. Some are data sufficiency questions asking which facts are enough to find one partner's profit. Writing each partner's capital-months product, then reducing to the simplest ratio, solves nearly every question quickly.

Profit is shared in the ratio of each partner's capital multiplied by the time it was invested. If A invests Rs. 10,000 for 12 months and B invests Rs. 15,000 for 8 months, both products equal 120,000, so they share the profit equally.
In a simple partnership, all partners invest for the same period, so profit is shared in the ratio of capital alone. In a compound partnership, capital or time differs, so the ratio uses capital multiplied by time for each partner.
