      Two friends, R and S, started a venture where R’s capital

      was Rs. 2,000 more than S’s. R withdrew his investment after 10 months. If the ratio of their profit shares is 11:12, then find the investment of R.
      A Rs.32000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.25000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.22000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.28500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the investment of S be Rs. a.

      Investment of R = Rs. (a + 2000)

      Profit ratio = [(a + 2000) × 10] : [a × 12] = (5a + 10000) : 6a

      ATQ,

      (5a + 10000) : 6a = 11 : 12

      ⇒ 12 × (5a + 10000) = 11 × 6a

      ⇒ 60a + 120000 = 66a

      ⇒ 6a = 120000

      ⇒ a = 20000

      Investment of R = 20000 + 2000 = Rs. 22,000
