Q.A and B start a joint business. At the end of the year, they share the profit in the ratio 2 : 3. If A invested ₹40,000, then how much did B invest? (a) ₹ 50000 (b) ₹ 60000 (c) ₹ 40000 (d) ₹ 70000
Answer: B
Let B have invested ₹\(x\). \(\therefore\) \(40000 : x = 2 : 3\) ⇒ \(\cfrac{40000}{x} = \cfrac{2}{3}\) ⇒ \(2x = 120000\) ⇒ \(x = 60000\)
