The profit Raju received after 3.5 years is Rs. 1400 out of total profit of Rs. 3200.What was the amount Raju invested. Correct Answer Rs. 3500
Given
Time of Kamal’s and Raju’s partnership = 3.5 years
Kamal’s investment for 23 months = Rs. 7500
Total Profit for 3.5 years = 3200
Raju’s profit for 3.5 years = 1400
Formula used
Calculation
Total time of Investment = 3.5 years = 42 months
Raju investment for months =Total time of investment – time of Kamal’s investment
⇒ 42 - 23 Months = 19 Months
Ratio of time period invested = Time of Kamal’s investment: Time of Raju investment
⇒ 23 : 19
Ratio of share profit = (3200 - 1400) : 1400 = 1600 : 1400 = 8 : 7
Amount invested by Raju = 7500 × 7/15 = Rs. 3500
∴ Amount invested by Raju is Rs. 3500.
