Salman started a business with Rs. 2440 while Trishna invested some money after 4 months. If at the end of 12 months (starting from Salman's investment) profit is shared by Salman and Trishna in the ratio 6 : 5, how much did Trishna invest? Correct Answer Rs. 3050

⇒ (2,440 × 12)/(x × 8) = 6/5

⇒ 305 × 12/x = 6/5

⇒ 6x = 305 × 12 × 5

⇒ x = 305 × 12 × 5/ 6

⇒ x = Rs. 3050
