Manick received Rs. 6000 as his share out of the total profit of Rs. 9000 which he and Raunaq earned at the end of one year. If Manick invested Rs. 20,000 for 6 months, whereas Raunaq invested his amount for the whole year, what was the amount invested by Raunaq?

One Answer on this Question

1. P1/P2 = C1*T1/ C2*T2
   where P1 = Partner 1’s Profit.
   C1 = Partner 1’s Capital.
   T1 = Time period for which Partner 1 contributed his capital.
   P2 = Partner 2’s Profit.
   C2 = Partner 2’s Capital.
   T2 = Time period for which Partner 2 contributed his capital
   6000/3000= 20,000*6/x*12
   x=5000
