    Rs.3000 respectively. After 4 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 80% 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 = (5000 x 12) : (3000 x 4 + 8y) = 1:1 So, 60000 = 18000 + 8x => x = 5250 Increase in investment of Q = 5250 – 3000 = Rs.2250 Required % = (2250/3000) x 100 = 75%
