Practicing Success
A and B entered into a partnership with certain investments. At the end of 8 months, A withdrew and collected back his money. A and B received profit in the ratio 5 : 9 at the end of the year. If B had invested ₹ 36,000, then how much (in ₹) had A invested? |
25,000 30,000 20,000 36,000 |
30,000 |
Let us consider that investment of A = x Total investment of A = x × 8 = 8x Total investment of B = 12 × 36000 = 432000 We know that , Ratio of Investment = Ratio of Profit \(\frac{8x}{432000}\) = \(\frac{5}{9}\) x = \(\frac{5 × 432000}{72}\) = 30,000 So, Total investment of A = 30,000 |
