Question

Sohail started a business with ₹ 2250 while Trishala invested some money after 3 months. if the end of 12 months (from Sohail investment) profit is shared by Sohail and Trishala in the ratio 25: 24, how much did Trishala invest?
a)₹2160
b)₹2480
c)₹2880
d)₹2920

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 2880

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the proportion is :

S : T = 25 : 24,   S - Sohail and T - Trishala

S = 2250 * p * 12,  p stays for the monthly intereat,

T = x * p * 9 ( because Trishala invested money after 3 months)

(2250 * p * 12) :  ( x * p *9 ) = 25 : 24

24 * 2250 * p * 12 = 25 * x * p *9   / : p (divide both sides of the equation by p)

648,000 = 225 x

x = 648,000 : 225 = 2880.
