Manick received ₹ 6000 as his share out of the total profit of ₹ 9000 which he and Raunaq earned atthe end of one year. If Manick invested ₹ 20000 for 6 months, whereas Raunaq invested his amount for the whole year, what was the amount invested by Raunaq?

(a)₹ 4000

(b)₹ 5000

(c)₹ 6000

(d)₹ 10,000

Answer

Answer (as printed): B

Explanation

Suppose Raunaq invested ₹ $x$. Then, Manick : Raunaq $=(20000 \times 6):(x \times 12)$ $$\therefore \quad \frac{120000}{12 x}=\frac{6000}{3000} \text { or } x=\frac{120000}{24}=5000 .$$
