Question

In a partnership business, Adhirbabu invested Rs 2000 for 9 months and Dilipbabu invested Rs 1500 for a certain period. If the total profit is Rs 484 and Adhirbabu’s share of profit is Rs 264, then find the period of time for which Dilipbabu invested his capital

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Dilipbabu invested for x months

so profit sharing ratio= 2000*9:1500*x =18000:1500x

Profit amount of Dilipbabu= 484-264=220.

According to amount of profit their profit sharing ratio is= 264:220=6:5

So, 18000:1500x=6:5

18000/1500x=6/5

x= 18000*5/1500*6

= 10.
