Question

Anil invests Rs. 3,000 for a year and Sunil joins him with Rs. 2,000 after 4 months. After a year, they receive a return of Rs 2,600. Sunil's share is

• A. Rs. 800
• B. Rs. 1,000
• C. Rs. 750
• D. Rs. 900

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Rs. 800

Since, Anil's investment for 12 months = $Rs.3000\times 12=Rs.36,000$ and Sunil;s investment for 8 months = $Rs.2000\times 8=Rs.16,000$

$\Rightarrow$ Ratio of shares = Ratio of investments

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{36000}{16000}=\frac{36}{16}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{18}{8}=\frac{9}{4}$

$\Rightarrow$ Sunil's share = $\frac{4}{13}\times 2600=Rs.800$
