Question
Sandeep got Rs. 6000 as his share out of the total profit of Rs. 9000 which he and Saketh earned at the end of one year. If Sandeep invested Rs. 20000 for 6 months, whereas Saketh invested his amount for the whole year, the amount invested by Saketh?
Options
A. Rs. 5000
B. Rs. 6200
C. Rs. 8100
D. R. 7600

Correct Answer

Rs. 5000

Explanation

Let the amount invested by saketh = RS. p

Now, that of sandeep = 20,000 x 6

saketh = 12 x p

Ratio of their earnings = 120000 : 12p = 6000 : (9000 - 6000)

=> $\frac{120000}{12 p} = \frac{6000}{3000} = > p = Rs . 5000$

Hence, the amount investe by saketh = Rs. p = Rs. 5000.
