Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 12000, Rs. 14400

Given:

X and Y invest Rs 21,000 and Rs 17,500 respectively.

Total loss is Rs 26,400.

Formula Used:

L1 : L2 = I× T1 : I× T2

Here, L = Loss, I = Investment, T = Time

Calculation:

X and Y invest Rs. 21,000 and Rs. 17,500 respectively

At the end of the year the ratio of loss = 21000 × 1 : 17500 × 1 = 6 : 5

The ratio of loss = 6 : 5

Total loss = 26400

The share loss of X = 6/11 × 26400 = Rs. 14400

The share loss of Y = 5/11 × 26400 = Rs. 12000

∴ The share loss of X and Y is Rs. 14400 and Rs. 12000.
