Question
'Ajay' and 'Bheem' entered in a partnership such that sum
invested by 'Ajay' is 25% more than that by 'Bheem' while 'Bheem' invested his sum for 25% less time than that by 'Ajay'. Find the ratio of the profits received by them at the end of the year.Solution
ATQ,
Let the sum invested by ‘Bheem’ be Rs. x
Therefore, sum invested by ‘Ajay’ = Rs. 1.25x
Let the time for which ‘Ajay’ invested his sum be ‘y’ months
Therefore, time for which ‘Bheem’ invested his sum = 0.75y months
Ratio of the profits received by them = (1.25x × y):(x × 0.75y) = 5:3
