Question

    A and B entered into a business investing Rs. (x + 80) and Rs. (x – 40) respectively. After one year they invested Rs. 50 more and Rs. 150 more respectively. After 2 years, ratio of the profit shares of A to B is 6:5. Find the value of x.

    A 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 312 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 315 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 318 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of profit share of A to B = [x + 80 + x + 80 + 50]:[x – 40 + x – 40 + 150] = [2x + 210]:[2x + 70] According to question; (2x + 210)/(2x + 70) = 6/5 => 10x + 1050 = 12x + 420 => 2x = 630 => x = 315
