      Amit’s investment is Rs. 2,000 more than Anil’s. Anil left the business after 6 months. If the ratio of their profit shares at the end of 12 months is 11:6, find Amit’s investment.
      A Rs.21,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.26,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.36,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.42,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the investment of Anil be Rs. 'p'.
      Investment of Amit = Rs. (p + 2,000)
      Ratio of profit shares of Amit and Anil respectively = [(p + 2,000) × 12] : [p × 6]
      So, (12p + 24,000) : 6p = 11 : 6
      Or, 72p + 1,44,000 = 66p
      Or, 6p = 1,44,000
      Or, 'p' = 24,000
      Therefore, required investment = 24,000 + 2,000 = Rs. 26,000
