Question

x and y invested an amount of rs.5000 and 6000, respectively. if the time period for which x invested his amount is twice that of y, then what is the total profit if the profit earned by y is rs.198?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 528

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say y invested for y time

then x invested for 2*y = 2y time

Then y total investments = 6000 y

Then x total investments = 5000 * 2y = 10000y

Ratio of x : y  :: = 10000y:6000y

x: y :: 5y:3y

total profit = 3y + 5y = 8y

if 3y  = 198

1 = 198/3y

8y = (198/3y)*8y

= 66*8

=  528 Rs
