    Question

    Priya and Anjali began a partnership investing Rs. 2000 and

    Rs. 3000 respectively. After 6 months, Neha joined them with Rs. ‘x’. If Priya gets Rs. 500 as profit out of Rs. 1500, find the value of ‘x’.
    A 5000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 9500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Investment ratio = 2000 : 3000 : x

    Profit share = (2000 × 12) : (3000 × 12) : (x × 6)= 24000 : 36000 : 6x= 4000 : 6000 : x

    Now,

    [4000 / (4000 + 6000 + x)] = 500 / 1500

    10000 + x = 12000

    x = 2000

    So, the value of ‘x’ is Rs. 2000
