Question

A and B together start a business with investment of Rs. 1500 and Rs. (x + 600), respectively. If the profit earned after 5 years is Rs. 5000 and share of A is Rs. 2000, then find the value of x.

A 1650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 2100 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 + 600) So, {1500/(x + 2100)} × 5000 = 2000 => 3750 = x + 2100 => x = 1650
