1. P and Q invested in a business. The profit earned was divided in the ratio 2 : 3. If P invested Rs 40000, the amount invested by Q is

A. Rs. 40000

B. Rs. 50000

C. Rs. 60000

D. Rs. 70000

Solution:

Let the amount invested by Q = q.

\begin{aligned} 40000 : q = 2 : 3 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{40000}{q} = \frac{2}{3} \\ \Rightarrow q = 40000 \times \frac{3}{2} \\ = Rs . 60000 \end{aligned}
