    ratio 7:3 respectively. After 4 months, Neha joins with an amount equal to the average of both. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs. 5,00,000, how much did Meena earn?
    A Rs.1,25,320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.2,56,320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.1,12,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.5,36,300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let investments of Arun and Meena be Rs. ‘7x’ and Rs. ‘3x’, respectively.

    So, Neha’s investment = (7x + 3x)/2 = Rs. ‘5x’

    Profit share ratio = (7x × 12) : (3x × 12) : (5x × 8) = 84 : 36 : 40

    Simplify → 21:9:10

    So, required profit for Meena = 500000 × (9/40) = Rs. 1,12,500
