    Solution

    Ratio of the investment of Manoj and Naveen with respect to the time ⇒ (y-900)x4+(y-900+1100)x8 : (y+1300)x4+(y+1300-1100)x8 ⇒ (y-900)+(y+200)x2 : (y+1300)+(y+200)x2 ⇒ (y-900)+(2y+400) : (y+1300)+(2y+400) ⇒ (3y-500) : (3y+1700) The ratio between the profit shares of Manoj and Naveen is 35:37 respectively. So (3y-500)/(3y+1700) = 35/37 37(3y-500) = 35(3y+1700) 111y-18500 = 105y+59500 111y-105y = 18500+59500 6y = 78000 y = 13000
