      Question

      Nikhil and Saurabh started a business together by

      investing a total of Rs. 24000 in the ratio of 7:5, respectively. After 6 months, Nikhil increased his investment by Rs. 3000 and after 2 more months, Saurabh decreased his investment by Rs. 2000. Find the total annual profit earned, if the difference between their annual profits is Rs. 3700.
      A Rs. 12500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 14900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 16200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 17500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 19800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the total profit earned at the end of the year be Rs. 'p' Initial investment done by Nikhil = 24000 X (7/12) = Rs. 14000 Initial investment done by Saurabh = 24000 - 14000 = Rs. 10000 Profits sharing ratio of Nikhil and Saurabh = (14000 X 6 + 17000 X 6):(10000 X 8 + 8000 X 4) = (84 + 102):(80 + 32) = 186:112 = 93:56 According to question: (93p/149) - (56p/149) = 3700 Or, (37p/149) = 3700 Total profit earned (p) = (3700 X 149)/37 = Rs. 14900
