    with initial investments of Rs. (p + 120) and Rs. (p - 180), respectively. After one year, they increased their investments in the ratio of 12:7. What is Atul's share of the total profit amounting to Rs. 22,800?
    A Rs.14400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 24400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 7200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Can't be determined Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let additional investment made by Atul and Bheema is Rs.12y and Rs.7y respectively. Ratio of profit share of Atul to Bheema = [x + 120 + x + 120 + 12y]:[x – 180 + x – 180 + 7y] = [2x + 12y + 240]:[2x + 7y - 360] So, Profit share of Atul = (2x + 12y + 240)/(4x + 19y – 120) × 22800 So, we cannot determine the profit share of Atul.
