Question

P and Q started a business by investing Rs.9000 and Rs.7500 respectively. After 5 months, Q increased his investment by a certain percentage such that at the end of 1 year, the profit shares of P and Q were equal. By how much percentage did Q increased his investment?

A 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 50% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 60% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let the increased investment amount of Q = Rs.x Ratio of profit shares of P and Q = (9000 x 12) : (7500 x 5 + 7y) = 1:1 So, 108000 = 45000 + 7x => x = 9000 Increase in investment of Q = 9000 – 7500 = Rs.1500 Required % = (1500/7500) x 100 = 20%
