Question

Maruti and Suzuki entered into a partnership $5$ months ago. The ratio of profit claimed by Maruti and Suzuki is $6:17$. If Suzuki had just started business $12$ months ago with Rs. $1275$, what is the amount contributed by Maruti?

• A. Rs. $980$
• B. Rs. $1080$
• C. Rs. $1200$
• D. Rs. $998$

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. $1080$

$Concept:$ Ratio of product of investment and time duration is equal to ratio of profit.

Here, For Maruti, let investment (Contribution) = X Rs. for 5 months

For Suzuki, investment = 1275 Rs for 12 months.

Ratio of profit $=6:17$

Now, $\frac{InvestmentbyMaruti\times Timedurationofinvestment}{InvestmentbySuzuki\times Timedurationofinvestment}=Ratioofprofit$

$\Rightarrow \frac{X\times 5}{1275\times 12}=\frac{6}{17}$

$\Rightarrow X=\frac{6\times 1275\times 12}{17\times 5}=1080Rs$

Hence, contribution of Maruti $=1080$ Rs.
