The profits are shared in the ratio of money-months contributed by the partners. Money-months contributed by A are 1 × 5 + 11 × 13 = 148, whereas those by B are 1 × 13 + 11 × 5 = 68. The ratio of these money-months is 37:17. This is the ratio in which the profits would be divided. A's share = 37800 × $37/{37 + 17}$ = Rs. 25900.
