A) Rs. 600 B) Rs. 768

Q:

A starts a business, after 6 months B also join him with Rs.4500 and after 2 months of B’s joining C also join them with Rs.4500. If A gets approx. Rs 4900 out of total annual profit of Rs. 10,000 then find the approximate value of initial investment of A.

A) Rs.4800 B) Rs.4200
C) Rs.3600 D) Rs.4400
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.3600

Explanation:

Let initial investment of A = x
Ratio of profit A : B : C = 12 × x : 6×4500 :4×4500
A :B:C = x : 2250: 1500
Now ATQx/(x+2250+1500) = 4900/10000
solving this we get,x ≈ Rs 3600
