    Anuj and Bhuvan started a business by investing Rs. 4500 and Rs. 4800, respectively. After 6 months, Bhuvan withdrew Rs. 600, and Chinu joined with a capital of Rs. 6000. The annual profit is Rs. 3600, and Chinu's share of the profit is Rs. (2p+200). Determine the ratio of annual profit shares of Pawan and Qureshi if they invested Rs. (5p−300) and Rs. (3p+200), respectively.

    A 15:14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25:32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 29:25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 33:37 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of annual profit share ratio of’ ‘Anuj’, ‘Bhuvan’ and ‘Chinu’, respectively = (4500 × 12):(4800 × 6 + 4200 × 6):(6000 × 6) = 3:3:2 Profit share of ‘Chinu’ = (3600/8) × 2 = Rs. 900 Or, 2p + 200 = 900 Or, 2p = 700 Or, p = 350 Therefore, sum invested by ‘Pawan’ = 5p – 300 = 5 × 350 – 300 = Rs. 1450 Sum invested by ‘Qureshi’ = 3p + 200 = 3 × 350 + 200 = Rs. 1250 Therefore, required ratio = 1450:1250 = 29:25
