    A and B together start a business with investment of Rs.

    1500 and Rs. (x + 500), respectively. If the profit earned after 5 years is Rs. 5000 and share of A is Rs. 2500, then find the value of x.
    A 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1640 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of share of profit of A : B = 1500: (x + 500) So, {1500/(x + 2000)} × 5000 = 2500 => 3000 = x + 2000 => x = 1000
