Question
Aman and Bittu launched a
business by investing Rs. 'x' and Rs. 1,500, respectively. Four months later, Chirag joined with an investment of Rs. 1,800. Given that after one year, the total profit was Rs. 5,850 and Chirag’s share of the profit was Rs. 1,800, determine the value of 'x'.Solution
Respective ratio of the investments of Aman, Bittu and Chirag
= 12 Ă— x: 12 Ă— 1500: 8 Ă— 1800
= x: 1500: 1200 According to question: 1200/(x + 2700) = 1800/5850 3x + 8100 = 11700 3x = 3600 x = 1200 So the value of x = 1200
