Question
Atul and Bheema began a business
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?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.
