      Question

      P, Q and R jointly invested in a business. Their initial

      investments were Rs. 3600, Rs. 4800 and Rs. ‘y’ respectively. If P and Q together received Rs. 5400 out of a total profit of Rs. 8700, find the amount invested by R.
      A Rs.4200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.5200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.5000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.6700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Profit share ratio of (P + Q) : R = 5400 : (8700 – 5400) = 5400 : 3300 = 18 : 11 So, value of y = 11/18 × (3600 + 4800) = Rs. 5200
