The Quant section in RBI Grade B Phase 1 has 30 questions. The reviews of past papers say that the Partnership usually attracts 1 to 2 questions. That\u2019s about 3 to 7% of Quants. It\u2019s not the biggest topic. But it\u2019s a free-scoring one if you know the basics well. Partnership problems need only a couple of formulas. If you use them right, you can solve in seconds. In this blog, you\u2019ll learn the important formulas, fast tricks, and examples. You\u2019ll also know how to practise. By the end, you\u2019ll have this topic in your control. Keep on reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They keep money for different times. Profit is divided based on money and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be about any business, small or big. The rule is the same. The person who invests more for longer time gets more share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before solving, you need to know the basic formulas. Without them, you will take longer to calculate. With them, the answers come fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These formulas work in almost every type of partnership problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If A invests \u20b9X for m months and B invests \u20b9Y for n months, then share ratio = (X \u00d7 m) : (Y \u00d7 n). For Example: A invests \u20b95,000 for 6 months. B invests \u20b98,000 for 3 months. Ratio = (5000\u00d76) : (8000\u00d73) = 30000 : 24000 = 5 : 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you get the ratio, you split the total profit in that ratio. Total parts = 5 + 4 = 9. A\u2019s profit = (5\/9) \u00d7 9000 = Rs 5,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n B\u2019s profit = Rs 4,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When a partner joins later or leaves early, you adjust the months. Example: A invests \u20b910,000 for 12 months. B joins after 4 months with \u20b910,000. A\u2019s time = 12, B\u2019s time = 8. Ratio = (10000\u00d712):(10000\u00d78) = 3:2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n ALSO READ: How to Score Maximum Marks in Cloze Test<\/a><\/strong> & Ratio & Proportion Concepts and Shortcuts for RBI Grade B Exam<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Formulas help you solve questions. But in RBI Grade B Phase 1, speed is everything. You have less than a minute for each Quant question. You can\u2019t afford long steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These tricks make the numbers smaller. They also cut down extra steps. Once you know them, you\u2019ll solve partnership sums faster and with fewer mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If all partners invest for the same number of months, skip the time part. Just compare their investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A invests \u20b95,000. B invests \u20b98,000. Both for 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ratio = 5000 : 8000 = 5 : 8. Done. No need to multiply by 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This saves you 2\u20133 seconds in each question. That\u2019s a lot in the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big numbers take longer to multiply. So, cancel the zeros before you multiply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example: Now it\u2019s 5 \u00d7 6 and 8 \u00d7 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Easier and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your brain likes small numbers. The smaller they are, the less chance of a silly mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you have the ratio, add the parts. Then divide profit quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ratio = 5 : 4. Total parts = 9. Profit = \u20b99,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each part = 9000 \u00f7 9 = 1000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A gets 5 parts = \u20b95,000. B gets 4 parts = \u20b94,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No need to calculate each share using fractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When a partner joins later, count his months from when he joins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A invests for 12 months. B joins in July in a January\u2013December business. B\u2019s time = 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then multiply money \u00d7 months for both partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This avoids counting extra months by mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a partner leaves early, count only the months he stayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example: Short time = smaller share. Always adjust for this before finding ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n ALSO READ: Word Swap Tricks for RBI Grade B Phase 1 Exam<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Examples make formulas clear. They show you how to apply tricks in real questions. Let\u2019s go step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example 1: Profit Share<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A invests \u20b94,000 for 10 months. B invests \u20b96,000 for 8 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Profit = Rs 10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ratio = (4000\u00d710):(6000\u00d78) = 40000:48000 = 5:6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Total parts = 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A gets (5\/11)\u00d710000 \u2248 \u20b94,545.<\/p>\n\n\n\n B gets \u20b95,455.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example 2: Late Entry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A invests \u20b98,000 for 12 months. B enters after 3 months with \u20b98,000. Profit = \u20b96,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A time = 12, B time = 9. Ratio = 8,000\u00d712 : 8,000\u00d79 = 12:9 = 4:3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two parts = 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each part = \u20b96000\u00f77 \u2248 \u20b9857.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A \u2248 \u20b93,429.<\/p>\n\n\n\n B \u2248 \u20b92,571.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example 3: Leaving Partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A, B, C invest equally. A leaves after 4 months. Profit = \u20b99,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A = 3 parts \u00d7 4 = 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n B = 3 parts \u00d7 12 = 36<\/p>\n\n\n\n C = 3 parts \u00d7 12 = 36<\/p>\n\n\n\n Total = 84 parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One part = 9000 \u00f7 84 \u2248 107.14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A \u2248 \u20b91,285, B \u2248 \u20b93,857, C \u2248 \u20b93,857.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without practice, partnership questions can still take time. With practice, they become quick marks. You need a fixed plan for practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mini tasks keep you sharp. They also make practice less boring. You can do this in under 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This topic has low weightage but a high scoring chance. If you master the ratio\u2013time method, you can solve problems without stress. Partnarship can become your strong point in the Quantitative Aptitude of Phase 1 exam if you practice daily and master shortcuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Disclaimer:<\/strong> The partnership formulas, tricks, and examples provided are curated from expert analysis of exam trends and previous papers.
