Amit starts a business with Rs.20,000 and Trisha joins the business 5 months later with an investment of Rs.25,000. After a year, they earn a profit of Rs.83,000. Find the shares of Amit and Trisha. 1. 48000, 340002. 38000, 350003. 48000, 350004. 37000, 380005. 35000, 42000

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
