    β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ started a business by investing Rs.

    β€˜a’ and Rs. β€˜a + 250’, respectively. If 12 months later the ratio of profit shares of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ was 5:6, respectively, then find the amount (initially) invested by β€˜B’.
    A Rs.1,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.1,800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.2,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.4,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ; [(12 Γ— a)/{(a + 250) Γ— 12}] = (5/6) Or, (12a Γ— 6) = 60 Γ— (a + 250) Or, 72a = 60a + 15000 Or, 12a = 15000 So, a = 1250 So, initial investment made by β€˜B’ = 1250 + 250 = Rs. 1,500
