    Question

    A man invested 40% of his saving in juice business and remaining into cloth business. After five months, he increased initial investment in cloth business by 50%. At the end of a year, the difference between profit received by man from these two businesses is Rs. 7500. If total profit received by man from juice business is 80% of total investment of that business, then find total saving (in Rs.) of man.

    A.

    8000

    B.

    10000

    C.

    15000

    D.

    25000

    E.

    15500

    Correct option is D

    Let total saving of man = 10x Rs.
    Initial investment in juice business = 10x ×40/100=4x Rs.
    Initial investment in cloth business = 10x – 4x = 6x Rs
    Ratio of profit share of juice business to cloth business = 4x ×12 :(6x×5+6x×3/2×7)
    = 48x : 93x
    = 16 : 31
    Let total profit of both business = 47p
    ATQ, 47p ×(31-16)/47 = 7500
    p = 500
    So, total investment in juice business = 500 ×16×100/80=10000 Rs.
    4x = 10000
    x = 2500
    So, total saving of man = 25000 Rs
