      Question

      A and B started a business together with investments of

      Rs. 2100 and Rs. 2800, respectively. After four months, C joined them with investment of Rs. ‘x’. If the profit earned by A after one year is Rs. 900 out of the total profit of Rs. 3100, then find the value of ‘x’.
      A Rs. 3600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 3000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 4200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Ratio of investments of A : B : C = 2100 : 2800 : x Ratio of profit share of A : B : C = (2100 × 12) : (2800 × 12) : 8x = 25200 : 33600 : 8x = 3150 : 4200 : x So, [3150/ (3150 + 4200 + x)] = 900/3100 7350 + x = 10850 x = 3500 So, the value of ‘x’ is Rs. 3500
