Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 3000
Given :
In a business A invested = 15,000 Rs
B invested = 25,000 Rs.
The end of the first year they earned a profit = 13000 Rs.
A left the business with his money after 6 months
Calculation :
In a business A invested for 6 months = 15000 × 6 = 90000
In a business B invested for 12 month = 25000 × 12 = 300000
A's share : B's share = 90000 : 300000 = 3 : 10
Lets A's share = 3x
B's share = 10x
According to what is given ,
⇒ 3x + 10x = 13000
⇒ 13x = 13000
⇒ x = 1000
A's share = 3x = 3 × 1000 = Rs.3000
∴ A's share is Rs.3000
