    and Rs. 7,000, respectively. 1 year later, 'A' and 'B' increased their investments by 60% and Rs. 2,000 respectively. 2 years after starting the business, if the total profit earned from the business is Rs. 11850, then find the profit share of 'B'.
    A Rs. 6,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 6,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 6,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 7,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 7,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Increased investment of 'A' = 6000 Ă— 1.6 = Rs. 9,600 Increased investment of 'B' = 7000 + 2000 = Rs. 9,000 So, respective ratio of profit shares of 'A' and 'B' = (6000 + 9600):(7000 + 9000) = 15600:16000 = 39:40 So, profit share of 'B' out of Rs. 11850 = 11850 Ă— (40/79) = Rs. 6,000
