    initially investing sums denoted as 'm' and 'm + 3000', respectively. Four months later, 'Aditi' chose to amplify her investment by an additional Rs. 3,000, whereas 'Misti' opted to withdraw Rs. 2,000 from his initial capital. As the year concluded, 'Aditi' claimed her share of the profit, amounting to Rs. 42,000, out of a total profit pool of Rs. 83,000.

    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of profit shares of тАШAditiтАЩ and тАШMistiтАЩ = {(4 ├Ч m) + 8 ├Ч (m + 3000)}:{4 ├Ч (m + 3000) + 8 ├Ч (m + 3000 тАУ 2000)} = 3(m + 2000):(3m + 5000) Profit share of тАШMistiтАЩ = 83000 тАУ 42000 = Rs. 41,000 ATQ; {3 ├Ч (m + 2000)}/{3m + 5000} = (42000/41000) 41 ├Ч (m + 2000) = 14 ├Ч (3m + 5000) Or, 41m + 82000 = 42m + 70000 Or, m = 12000 So, investment made by тАШMistiтАЩ initially = 12000 + 3000 = Rs.15,000
