      Question

      β€˜M’ began a business by investing a certain amount.

      After 6 months, β€˜N’ joined with Rs. 800 more than M. If their profit sharing ratio at the year-end is 3:4 respectively, find M’s investment.
      A Rs.480 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.210 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let M’s investment = Rs. Y

      Then N’s investment = Rs. (Y + 800)

      Profit ratio = (Y Γ— 12) : {(Y + 800) Γ— 6}

      ATQ,

      (Y Γ— 12) Γ· {(Y + 800) Γ— 6} = 3/4

      => 12Y Γ— 4 = 3 Γ— (6Y + 4,800)

      => 48Y = 18Y + 14,400

      => 30Y = 14,400

      => Y = 14,400 Γ· 30 = Rs. 480

      Therefore, M’s initial investment = Rs. 480
