      X and Y started a business with initial investments of

      Rs. 4700 and Rs. 7200 respectively. After 3 months, X added Rs. 1200 to his investment. If the total profit at the end of one year is Rs. 5600, find the difference between X’s share and Y’s share of the profit.
      A Rs.432 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.330 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.660 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      X’s capital-time = 4700×3 + (4700+1200)×9 = 14100 + 5900×9 = 67200

      Y’s capital-time = 7200×12 = 86400

      Profit ratio X:Y = 67200:86400 = 7:9

      Difference = 5600×(9−7)/(7+9) = 5600×2/16 = ₹700
