Question 10: Ajay, Vijay and Manoj started a business with initial investments of Rs. 11,000, Rs. 13,000 and Rs. 15,000 respectively. After one year, Ajay, Vijay and Manoj made additional investments of Rs. (x + 1500), Rs. (x + 1000) and Rs. (2x – 500) respectively. Find the value of ‘x’, if the profit share of Vijay after two years out of the total profit of Rs. 14,175 is Rs. 4,725.
A) Rs. 1,000
B) Rs. 800
C) Rs. 1,200
D) Rs. 1,600
E) Rs. 1,500
Solution 1: B)
Let X’s initial capital be Rs. ‘x’. Then the initial capitals of Y and Z would be Rs. ‘x – 16000’ and Rs. ‘x – 40000’ respectively. So,
(x) + (x – 16000) + (x – 40000) = 184000
3x – 56000 = 184000
x = Rs. 80000
So, initial capital of X, Y and Z are Rs. 80000, Rs. 64000 and Rs. 40000, respectively.
Profit sharing ratio between X, Y and Z at the end of the year
= [80000 × 12] : [64000 × 3 + 54000 × 9] : [40000 × 12]
= 960000 : 678000 : 480000
= 160 : 113 : 80
According to the question,
(113/353) × a = 2260
So, a = Rs. 7060
Hence, option b.
Solution 2: E)
Ratio of their investments = x + x+ 200 : x + 200 + x + 200 + 300 : x + 600 + x + 600 + 300
= 2x + 200 : 2x + 700 : 2x + 1500
So according to question: (2x + 200)/(6x + 2400) = 1432/5728
(x + 100)/(3x + 1200) = 1/4
4x + 400 = 3x + 1200
x = 800
So, the value of ‘x’ = Rs. 800
Hence, option e.
Solution 3: B)
Given, total profit earned = Rs. 24000
Profit earned by Rahul = Rs. 12672
According to question,
(100 – x)% of 24000 × (3/5) = 12672
(100 – x)% of 24000 = 21120
(100 – x)% = 21120/24000
100 – x = 88
x = 12%
Hence, option b.
Solution 4: B)
Ratio of Investment of Mahesh: Venketesh: Dhanush = 5: x: (5 + x)/2 = 10: 2x: (5 + x)
Ratio of profit share of Mahesh: Venketesh: Dhanush = (10 × 12): (2x × 12): {(5 + x) × 9}
= 40: 8x: 3(5 + x)
According to question,
8x/[40 + 8x + 3(5 + x)] = 3200/9900
8x/[55 + 11x] = 32/99
792x = 1760 + 352x
440x = 1760
x = 4
So, the value of ‘x’ is 4.
Hence, option b.
Solution 5: E)
Ratio of profit share of Prabhas: Samantha = (18000 + x): (19000 + 3x)
According to question,
(19000 + 3x) / (19000 + 3x) + (18000 + x) = 32000/56000
(19000 + 3x) / (37000 + 4x) = 4 / 7
133000 + 21x = 148000 + 16x
5x = 15000, x = 3000
So, the value of ‘x’ is Rs. 3000
Hence, option e.
Solution 6: C)
Ratio of profit share:
Sita: Urmila: Radhika = (3600 × 12): (2400 × 12): {3200 × (12 – x + 1)} = 27: 18: 2(13 – x)
According to question,
18/ [27 + 18 + 2(13 – x)] = 800/2800
18 × 7 = 90 + 52 – 4x
4x = 142 – 126
4x = 16
x = 16/4 = 4
Hence, option c.
Solution 7: D)
Investment of C = (100 – 25)% of 2400 = 0.75 × 2400 = Rs. 1800
Ratio of Profit Share:
A: B: C = (2400 × 12): (3000 × 12): (1800 × 9) = 28800: 36000: 16200 = 16: 20: 9
Therefore, profit share of B = [20/ (16 + 20 + 9)] × 9000 = Rs. 4000
Hence, option d.
Solution 8: D)
Ratio of initial investments of Prashant: Dixit: Nitin = 62: 2x: 75
Ratio of profit share of Prashant: Dixit: Nitin = (62 × 12): (2x × 12): (75 × 9) = 248: 8x: 225
According to question,
248/ (248 + 8x + 225) = 4960/16980
473 + 8x = 849
8x = 376, x = 47
So, the value of ‘x’ is 47.
Hence, option d.
Solution 9: A)
Ratio of the investment of A: B: C = (4000 + 4000 + x – 500) : (4500 + 4500 + x + 1000) : (5500 + 5500 + x + 1500)
= (7500 + x) : (10000 + x) : (12500 + x)
Profit share of B = {(10000 + x)/(30000 + 3x)) × 7560 = Rs. 2,520
Hence, option a.
Solution 10: A)
Ratio of their investments = (11000 + 11000 + x + 1500) :(13000 + 13000 + x + 1000) : (15000 + 15000 + 2x – 500)
= (23500 + x) :(27000 + x) : (29500 + 2x)
According to question,
(27000 + x)/(23500 + x + 27000 + x + 29500 + 2x) = 4725/14175
(27000 + x)/(80000 + 4x) = 1/3
81000 + 3x = 80000 + 4x
x = 1000
So, the value of x is Rs. 1,000.
Hence option a.
