    Question



    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
