    Question

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

    5:6, 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 1:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2:5 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, => [5x/(5x+6y)] x 100000 = 25000 => [5x/(5x+6y)] = 1/4 => 20x = 5x + 6y => 15x = 6y => x:y = 2:5
