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

Trishna invested some money after = 4 months
Profit ratio of Salman and Trishna = 6 : 5
Concept used:

Let the money Trishna invested be x
Trishna invested some money after = 4 months
∴ Required Equation
⇒ (2,440 × 12)/(x × 8) = 6/5
⇒ 305 × 12/x = 6/5
⇒ 6x = 305 × 12 × 5
⇒ x = 305 × 12 × 5/ 6
⇒ x = Rs. 3050
∴ Trishna invested Rs. 3050.
