# A starts business with Rs. 3500 and after 5 months, B joins with A as his partner. After a year, the profit is divided in the ratio 2 : 3. What is B's contribution in the capital?

 A) Rs. 7500 B) Rs. 8000 C) Rs. 8500 D) Rs. 9000

Answer:   D) Rs. 9000

Explanation:

Let B's capital be Rs. x.

Then,$\inline&space;{\color{Blue}\left&space;(&space;\frac{3500\times&space;12}{7x}=\frac{2}{3}&space;\right&space;)}$

=> 14x = 126000

=> x = 9000.

Q:

Vishal invested 10% more than Trishul. Trishul invested 10% less than Raghu. If the total sum of their investments is Rs. 5780, how much amount did Raghu invest ?

 A) Rs.2010 B) Rs.2200 C) Rs.2000 D) Rs.2100

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.2000

Explanation:

Let money invested by Raghu = Rs. x
Money invested by Trishul = 9/10 x = 0.9x
Money invested by Vishal = 9/10x * 110/100 = 0.99x
Also, x+0.9x+0.99x = 5780
= x= 5780/2.89 = 2000

Therefore, amount invested by Raghu is Rs. 2000.

But given that their investments are in the ratio 2:4:7
$\inline&space;\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\frac{7}{13}\times&space;P$ = 8750
P = 16250
Now Anand's share = $\inline \fn_jvn \small \frac{4}{13}\times 16250$ =Rs.5000

Thus both staements a and b are sufficient to answer this question.
