Question

    If the ratio of time periods of investment of A and B is

    4:7, profit at the end of the year is Rs.100000 and A’s share in it is Rs.25000, then what is the ratio of A’s and B’s investment?
    A 7:12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the ratio of A’s and B’s investment be x:y. The ratio of time periods of investment of A, => [4x/(4x+7y)] x 100000 = 25000 => [4x/(4x+7y)] = 1/4 => 16x = 4x + 7y => 12x = 7y => x:y = 7:12
