    Question

    Person 'X' invests Rs. 'z' in a business, while person

    'Y' contributes Rs. (z + 250). After a duration of 2 years, X's profit is 1/4 less than Y's profit. Determine the value of 'z'.
    A 428 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 184 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;
    If both invest for the same period, profit ∝ investment
    X's profit is 1/4 less than Y's
    X : Y = (3/4) : 1 = 3 : 4
    Hence, z : (z + 250) = 3 : 4
    4z = 3(z + 250)
    4z = 3z + 750
    z = 750
