Gautam started a business and Akash joined him after certain months. After how much time from the start did Akash join the business? Statement I: Gautam received Rs. 48000 as the profit out of the total profit of Rs. 64000 at the end of the year. Statement II: The investment done by Akash was Rs. 24000. Correct Answer Both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Combining statements I and II:
The investment done by Akash was Rs. 24000
Suppose investment of Gautam is Rs. A
Suppose Akash was in the business for x months.
So,
Ratio in which profit will be shared between Gautam and Akash = (A × 12) : (24000 × x)
Now,
Gautam received Rs. 48000 as the profit out of the total profit of Rs. 64000 at the end of the year.
So,
12A/(12A + 24000x) = 48000/64000
Here, we have 2 variables and 1 equation.
So, we can’t find the values of variables.
∴ Both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
