Q.Amal and Bimal started a business. Amal invested ₹500 for 9 months, and Bimal invested some amount for 6 months in the business. The total profit in the business was ₹69, out of which Bimal received ₹46. The amount of capital invested by Bimal in the business is – (a) ₹1500 (b) ₹3000 (c) ₹4500 (d) ₹6000
Answer: A
∴ Amal receives \(=(69 - 46)\) rupees \(= 23\) rupees.
Let \(x\) be the amount invested by Bimal in the business.
∴ According to the condition, \((500 \times 9):(x \times 6) = 23:46\)
or, \(\cfrac{4500}{6x} = \cfrac{23}{46}\)
or, \(\cfrac{750}{x} = \cfrac{1}{2}\)
or, \(x = 1500\). Bimal’s capital in the business is ₹1500.
