  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7

2. Nirmal and Kapil started a business investing Rs. 9000 and Rs. 12000 respectively. After 6 months, Kapil withdrew half of his investment. If after a year, the total profit was Rs. 4600, what was Kapil’s share initially ?

  • Rs 2300
  • Rs 2400
  • Rs 2500
  • None of above

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Nirmal:Kapil = 9000*12:(12000*6+6000*6) = 1:1

Kapils share = Rs. [4600 *(1/2)) = Rs. 2300

3. Rs. 700 is divided among A, B, C so that A receives half as much as B and B half as much as C. Then C's share is

  • Rs 200
  • Rs 300
  • Rs 400
  • Rs 500

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let C = x.
Then B = x/2

A:B:C = 1:2:4.
C's share Rs.[(4/7)*700) = 400

4. Manoj received Rs. 6000 as his share out of the total profit of Rs. 9000 which he and Ramesh earned at the end of one year. If Manoj invested Rs.120000 for 6 months, whereas Ramesh invested his amount for the whole year, what was the amount invested by Ramesh

  • Rs. 2000
  • Rs. 3000
  • Rs. 4000
  • Rs. 5000

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Suppose Ramesh invested Rs. x. Then,
Manoj : Ramesh = 20000 * 6 : x * 12.
120000/12x : 6000/3000
=> x = 120000/24 = 5000

5. Arun, Kamal and Vinay invested Rs. 8000, Rs. 4000 and Rs. 8000 respectively in a business. Arun left after six months. If after eight months, there was a gain of Rs. 4005, then what will be the share of Kamal?

  • Rs 870
  • Rs 880
  • Rs 890
  • Rs 900

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Arun : Kamal : Vinay = (8,000 x 6) : (4,000 x 8) : (8,000 x 8)
= 48 : 32 : 64
= 3 : 2 : 4

\begin{aligned}
\text{Kamal's share}= 4005 * \frac{2}{9}\\
= Rs 890

    plz explain i m unable to understand

    mastguru 11 years ago replied

    Hi Rocky,
    As per question, A has invested 3500 for a year, and B has invested for 7 months.
    Ratio of profit is 2:3
    So 3500*12 / x*7 = 2/3

    x is the amount B has invested, so from here we can calculate the value of x.
    Thanks.
