X And Y Started A Business Together. If X Invested Rs. 16,000 For 8 Months And Y Invested Some Amount In The Business For 4 Months. If Y Claims 2/7 Of The Total Profit Earned. How Much Money Was Invested By Y?

Answer»

LETS assume the total profit = Rs. T

so Y PART = 2*T/7 and

X part = T - 2*T/7 = 5*T/7

X, Y ratio

=> X : Y = 5*T/7 : 2*T/7 = 5 : 2

Y INVESTED Rs.P

so (16000 * 8) / (P * 4) = 5/2

=> P = (16000 * 8 * 2) /(5 * 4)

=> P = Rs. 12800

Lets assume the total profit = Rs. T

so Y part = 2*T/7 and

X part = T - 2*T/7 = 5*T/7

X, Y ratio

=> X : Y = 5*T/7 : 2*T/7 = 5 : 2

Y invested Rs.P

so (16000 * 8) / (P * 4) = 5/2

=> P = (16000 * 8 * 2) /(5 * 4)

=> P = Rs. 12800
