    ‘x’ and Rs. (x + 3,000) respectively. After 6 months, Karan joined them with Rs. 12,000. At the end of the year, Meena’s profit was 20% less than the combined profit of Ravi and Karan. Find the amount invested by Meena.

    B Rs.10,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.12,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.28,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    ATQ, Ratio of profit shares of Ravi, Meena, and Karan at the end of the year = (12 × x) : {(x + 3000) × 12} : (12000 × 6) ⇒ x : (x + 3000) : 6000 ATQ, (Meena’s profit) = 0.8 × (Ravi’s profit + Karan’s profit) ⇒ (x + 3000) = 0.8 × (x + 6000) ⇒ x + 3000 = 0.8x + 4800 ⇒ 0.2x = 1800 ⇒ x = 9000 So, amount invested by Meena = 9000 + 3000 = Rs. 12,000
