Directions (103-105): Avni and Beena started a business by investing Rs. P and Rs.1.2P respectively. After ‘x’ months, Avni withdrew her entire amount and Chetna entered into business. After end of 9 months, Beena increased her initial investment by 25%. On completion of one year, share of Avni and Beena in entire profit was Rs.14200. If Beena would have increased her investment after ‘x’ months, then ratio of share of Avni and Beena in entire profit would have been 10: 27 respectively. Find the value of ‘x’.
- 4
- 6
- 8
- 5
Correct answer: 6
Solution
Profit is divided in proportion to capital × time, so the condition about the alternate arrangement gives an equation in x. Solving that proportion leads to x = 6 months.
