Answer 2

Given :-

• P receives 5/12 of the profit.
• Q and R share the remaining profit equally.
• P's share is increased by Rs. 600 when the profit rises from 15% to 27%. ( if we take 610 all values will be approximate.)

To Find :-

• Find the capital invested by Q and Reach ?

Solution :-

it is given that, Profit of P is increased by Rs. 600 when the profit rises from 15% to 27%.

So,

we can conclude that,

→ (27% - 15%) of Profit = 600

→ 12% of Profit = 600

→ 1% of Profit = 50

→ 100% of Profit = Rs.5000 .

Therefore,

→ (5/12) of Total investment = 5000 = Share of P.

Now,

→ Share of (Q + R) = (7/12) of Total investment.

→ Share of (Q + R) = share of P * (7/5)

→ Share of (Q + R) = 5000 * (7/5)

→ Share of (Q + R) = Rs.7000

Hence,

→ Investment of Q = (7000/2) = Rs.3500.

→ Investment of R = (7000/2) = Rs.3500.
