    Question

    Two individuals, Karan and Arjun, invested in a

    business. Karan invested Rs. (x + 250) for 9 months, while Arjun invested Rs. (x – 450) for 6 months. If Arjun’s profit share was Rs. 3600 out of a total profit of Rs. 9000, determine the value of x.
    A 1650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1042 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1199 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1055 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Karan’s share = 9000 – 3600 = Rs. 5400

    So, {(x + 250) × 9}:{(x – 450) × 6} = 5400:3600

    Or, 27(x + 250) = 18(x – 450)

    Or, 27x + 6750 = 18x – 8100

    Or, 9x = 14850

    Or, x = 1650
