Ramesh started a business investing a sum of Rs. 40,000. Six months later, Kevin joined by investing Rs. 20,000. If they make a profit of Rs. 10,000 at the end of the year, how much is the share of Kevin?1. Rs. 2,0002. Rs. 2,5003. Rs. 4,0004. Rs. 3,000

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 2,000

Given:

Ramesh's investment = Rs. 40000

Kevin's investment = Rs. 20000

Total profit at the end of the year = Rs. 10000

Ramesh's time period of investment = 12 months

Kevin's time period of investment = 6 months

Formula used:

(Ramesh's profit) ∶ (Kevin's profit) = (Ramesh's capital × Time period of investment) ∶ (Kevin's capital × Time period of investment)

Calculations:

Ratio of their profit = (40000 × 12) ∶ (20000 × 6)

⇒ 480000 ∶ 120000

⇒ 4 ∶ 1

Ramesh's profit = 4x

Kevin's profit = x

Total profit = 4x + x

⇒ 5x = 10000

⇒ x = Rs. 2000 

∴ The share of Kevin in the total profit is Rs. 2000
