Question

    A and B together start a business with investment of Rs.

    1800 and Rs. (x + 800), respectively. If the profit earned after 5 years is Rs. 5000 and share of A is Rs. 2000, then find the value of x.
    A 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1640 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of share of profit of A : B = 1800: (x + 800) So, {1800/(x + 2600)} × 5000 = 2000 => 4500 = x + 2600 => x = 1900
