    M and N began a business with Rs. 2500 and Rs. 3500.

    After 4 months, M increases his contribution by Rs. 1000. If the total profit after 12 months is Rs. 2000, what is the difference between their shares?
    A Rs.180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.145 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    M’s time-weighted capital = (2500 × 4) + (2500 + 1000) × 8 = 10000 + 3500 × 8 = 10000 + 28000 = 38000 N’s time-weighted capital = 3500 × 12 = 42000 Ratio (M : N) = 38000 : 42000 = 19 : 21 Difference = 2000 × (21 − 19) / (19 + 21) = 2000 × 2/40 = Rs. 100
