      invested Rs. ‘t’. N withdrew after 6 months. If M received Rs. 5000 out of the total annual profit of Rs. 7500, find the amount invested by N.
      A Rs.2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.1600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.1800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Investment ratio = 1600 : t

      Profit ratio = (1600 × 12) : (t × 6) = 19200 : 6t = 3200 : t

      (3200 / (3200 + t)) × 7500 = 5000

      (3200 / (3200 + t)) = 2 / 3

      3200 × 3 = 2(3200 + t)

      9600 = 6400 + 2t

      2t = 3200

      t = 1600

      So, the value of ‘t’ is Rs. 1600
