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

    2200 and Rs. (x + 500), respectively. If the profit earned after 5 years is Rs. 5000 and share of A is Rs. 2500, then find the value of x.
    A 1650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of share of profit of A : B = 2200: (x + 500) So, {2200/(x + 2700)} × 5000 = 2500 => 4400 = x + 2700 => x = 1700
