A and B entered into partnership by investing Rs. 8000 and Rs. (X+8000). If the investment period for A and B is 18 months and 9 months respectively, then the profit share of A Rs 16000 out of the total profit of Rs 36000. Find the value of X.

A.

11000

B.

14000

C.

12000

D.

10000

E.

18000

Correct option is C


Profit sharing ratio of A and B = (8000×18)/((X+8000)×9) = 16000/(X+8000)
ATQ, 16000/(X+8000) = 16000/20000
X + 8000 = 20000
X =12000
