    • Question

      P and Q invested in a business with initial investments of

      Rs. 1000 and Rs. ‘y’ respectively. Q withdrew his investment after 6 months. If P’s share out of an annual profit of Rs. 6300 was Rs. 4200, find the value of ‘y’.
      A Rs.2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.1200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.1800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Ratio of investment of P and Q = 1000 : y

      Ratio of profit share = (1000 × 12) : (y × 6) = 12000 : 6y = 2000 : y

      So, (2000 / (2000 + y)) × 6300 = 4200

      (2000 / (2000 + y)) = 2 / 3

      2000 × 3 = 2(2000 + y)

      6000 = 4000 + 2y

      2y = 2000

      y = 1000

      So, the value of ‘y’ is Rs. 1000
