    and Rs. (x – 55) respectively. After one year they invested Rs. 70 more and Rs. 140 more respectively. After 2 years, ratio of the profit shares of A to B is 6:5. Find the value of x.
    A 310 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 315 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 330 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of profit share of A to B = [x + 45 + x + 45 + 70]:[x – 55 + x – 55 + 140] = [2x + 160]:[2x + 30] According to question; (2x + 160)/(2x + 30) = 6/5 => 10x + 800 = 12x + 180 => 2x = 620 => x = 310
