    Soham and Tanmay started a firm. Soham invested Rs. 12,000

    for the whole year, and Tanmay withdrew after 8 months. If the profit at year-end was divided in the ratio 6:5, what amount did Tanmay invest?
    A Rs.12,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.18,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.15,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.24,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let Tanmay’s investment = y

    (12000 × 12) : (y × 8) = 6 : 5

    → 144000 / (8y) = 6 / 5

    → 18000 / y = 6 / 5

    → y = 18000 × (5 / 6)

    → y = Rs. 15,000
