Question: Manoj got Rs.6000 as his share out of the total profit of Rs.9000 which he and Ramesh earned at the end of one year. If Manoj invested Rs.20000 for 6 months, whereas Ramesh invested his amount for the whole year, the amount invested by Ramesh was:  ¿मनोज ने 9000 रूपये के कुल लाभ में, 6000 रूपये अपने हिस्से के प्राप्त किये, जिसे उसने तथा रमेश ने मिलकर एक वर्ष के अंत में प्राप्त किया था. मनोज ने 20000 रूपये 6 महीनों के लिए निवेश किया, जबकि रमेश ने अपनी रकम पूरे वर्ष के लिए निवेश किया. बताएं कि रमेश के द्वारा निवेश की गयी रकम कितनी थी? [Ans. (a) Rs.5000]   

(a)  Rs 5000 (b)  Rs 60000 (c) Rs 10000 (d) Rs 40000 (e) none of these

Detailed Explanation: Given that Manoj got Rs.6000 as his share out of the total profit of Rs.9000, so the share of Ramesh in profit is Rs 3000 (Rs 9000 – Rs 6000).

So, the ratio of profits of Manoj and Ramesh is 6000:3000 = 2:1

Again, since Manoj invested his amount for 6 months, whereas Ramesh invested his amount for the whole year.

So, ratio of timing of Manoj and Ramesh is 6:12 = 1:2

Manoj invested Rs 20000, while the investment of Ramesh (x) is to be determined.
