Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 48000, 35000 Given: (i) Amit’s investment = Rs.20,000 (ii) Trisha’s investment = Rs.25,000 (iii) Profit after one year = Rs.83,000 Common Mistake: (i) If A invested after 4 months then it means B invested for (12 - 4) months or 8 months. Calculations: Amit’s Share : Trisha’s Share ⇒ 20000 × 12 : 25000 × (12 - 5) ⇒ 240 : 175 ⇒ 48 : 35 ⇒ Now let Amit’s share be 48x. ⇒ Trisha’s share be 35x. According to the question, ⇒ 48x + 35x = 83000 ⇒ 83x = 83000 ⇒ X = 1000 |
