Anil and Ruhi started a business with an initial investment of 5 : 8. After four months Anil doubled his investment and Ruhi reduced to 60% of initial investment and Sujeet joined them with the sum of Ruhi’s initial and Anil’s current investment. After another 8 months they distributed the profit in which Sujeet receives 18,000 then find the initial investment of Ruhi? Correct Answer 4000

GIVEN:

Initial investment of Anil = 5x

Initial investment of Ruhi = 8x

Profit received by Sujeet = Rs.18,000

FORMULA USED:

Profit = Investment x Time

CALCULATION:

Anil : Ruhi : Sujeet

= :  : (18x x 8)

= 25x : 17.6x : 36x

⇒ 36x = Rs.18,000

⇒ x = Rs.500

∴ Initial investment of Ruhi = 8 x 500 = Rs. 4000
