    Two partners A and B invested Rs. 900 and Rs. ‘m’

    respectively in a business. B withdrew after 6 months. If A got Rs. 3600 from a total yearly profit of Rs. 5400, find the value of ‘m’.
    A Rs.200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Investment ratio = 900 : m

    Profit ratio = (900 × 12) : (m × 6) = 10800 : 6m = 1800 : m

    (1800 / (1800 + m)) × 5400 = 3600

    (1800 / (1800 + m)) = 2 / 3

    1800 × 3 = 2(1800 + m)

    5400 = 3600 + 2m

    2m = 1800

    m = 900

    So, the value of ‘m’ is Rs. 900
