      Question

      Suresh and Ramesh entered into a partnership. Suresh

      invested Rs. 2,400 more than Ramesh and withdrew his amount after 10 months. If the profit sharing ratio was 13:15, then what was the investment made by Suresh?
      A Rs.32000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.50000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.62400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.75000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let Ramesh’s investment be Rs. a

      Suresh’s investment = a + 2400

      Profit ratio = [(a + 2400) Ă— 10] : [a Ă— 12] = (5a + 12000) : 6a

      ATQ,

      (5a + 12000) : 6a = 13 : 15

      ⇒ 15 × (5a + 12000) = 13 × 6a

      ⇒ 75a + 180000 = 78a

      ⇒ 3a = 180000

      ⇒ a = 60000

      Investment of Suresh = 60000 + 2400 = Rs. 62,400
