Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 16865

Given:

A invested 17800 for 12 months. B invested a certain amount for 6 months and further increased the amount by 500 for the next 6 months. The ratio of profit for A and B at the end of the year is 26/25..

Formula:

Ratio of Profit = ratios of product of Amount invested and time

Calculation:

ATQ,

Profit sharing ratio = investment × time

Let B invested Rs x initially

A/B= 17800 × 12/6x + (x + 500) × 6 = 26/25

213600/12x + 3000 = 26/25

5340000 = 26(12x + 3000)

x = 5262000/312 = 16865
