X invests ₹85,000 while Y invests ₹1,10,000, with X's investment lasting for 14 months and Y's for 11 months. The total profit amounts to ₹65,000. What is X's share?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. Compute time-weighted investments: X = $85{,}000	imes14=1{,}190{,}000$, Y = $110{,}000	imes11=1{,}210{,}000$. 
2. Ratio X:Y = $1{,}190{,}000:1{,}210{,}000 = 119:121$. 
3. X's share = $65{,}000	imes\dfrac{119}{119+121}=65{,}000	imes\dfrac{119}{240}=\dfrac{7{,}735{,}000}{240}=32{,}229.166\ldots$. 
4. Rounded to two decimals: **₹32,229.17**, so option **(a)** is correct.
