investing their capital in a 4:5 ratio, respectively. After half a year, Puneet decided to withdraw Rs. 5000 from his investment, and Malik followed suit, withdrawing Rs. 5000 from his own investment. The distribution of annual profits between Puneet and Malik is in a 3:5 ratio. Can you determine the total initial investment made by Puneet and Malik in the business?Solution
We can say that let the amounts invested by Puneet and Malik be Rs. 4p and 5p respectively. According to question, (4p × 6 + (4p – 5000) × 6)/(5p × 6 + (5p – 5000) × 6) = 3/5 (8p – 5000)/(10p – 5000) = 3/5 40p – 25000 = 30p – 15000 10p = 10000 p = 1000 Desired amount = 9 × 1000 = Rs.9,000
