Question
‘A’ and ‘B’ started a business by investing Rs. ‘a’ and Rs. ‘a + 250’, respectively. If 12 months later the ratio of profit shares of ‘A’ and ‘B’ was 5:6, respectively, then find the amount (initially) invested by ‘B’.
Solution
ATQ; [(12 × a)/{(a + 250) × 12}] = (5/6) Or, (12a × 6) = 60 × (a + 250) Or, 72a = 60a + 15000 Or, 12a = 15000 So, a = 1250 So, initial investment made by ‘B’ = 1250 + 250 = Rs. 1,500
