    Question

    P and Q started a business with investments of Rs. 3000

    and Rs. 4500. After 5 months, R joined them with Rs. ‘x’. If P’s share in the annual profit of Rs. 2000 is Rs. 600, find the value of ‘x’.
    A Rs.5000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.4500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.6600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.4100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of investments P : Q : R = 3000 : 4500 : x Ratio of profit share P : Q : R = (3000 × 12) : (4500 × 12) : (x × 7) = 36000 : 54000 : 7x = 6000 : 9000 : x (dividing by 6) So, [6000 / (6000 + 9000 + x)] = 600/2000 => (6000 / (15000 + x)) = 3/10 => 60000 = 45000 + 3x => 3x = 15000 => x = 5000 So, the value of ‘x’ is Rs. 5000
