Question
Anshul and Amar together started a business by investing
Rs. 30,000 and Rs. 36,000, respectively. Six months later, Amar joined them by investing Rs. ‘X’. If at the end of the year, profit earned by Amar is 40% less than that by ‘Anshul’, then find the value of ‘X’.Solution
Ratio of profit shares of Anshul and Amar = (30000 × 12):(X × 6) = 60000:X Also, let profit share of Anshul be Rs. ‘a’ Therefore, profit share of Anshul = 0.60 × a = Rs. ‘0.6a’ Ratio of profit shares of Anshul and Amar = (a):(0.6a) = 5:3 ATQ; (60000/X) = (5/3) Or, 5X = 3 × 60000 Or, X = (180000/5) So, X = 36000
