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.
