    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    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
