    ‘C’ and ‘D’ jointly started a business. ‘C’

    invested an amount which was 20% more than ‘D’. However, ‘D’ invested his capital for 10% less time than ‘C’. Calculate their profit ratio at year end.
    A 1:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let amount invested by ‘D’ be Rs. s

    Amount invested by ‘C’ = Rs. 1.2s

    Let time for which ‘C’ invested = t months

    Time for which ‘D’ invested = 0.9t months

    Profit ratio = (1.2s × t):(s × 0.9t) = (1.2t):(0.9t) = 12:9 = 4:3
