M और N एक व्यवसाय शुरू करते हैं। M, 7 महीने के लिए, N के निवेश से ₹79,000 अधिक निवेश करता है N, 6 महीने के लिए निवेश करता है। कुल लाभ ₹6,705 में से M का हिस्सा, N के हिस्से से ₹745 अधिक है। M द्वारा निवेशित पूँजी ज्ञात कीजिए।
Detailed Solution & Logic
₹11,85,000
Let N’s capital be ₹$x$.
Then M’s capital = ₹$(x + 79{,}000)$
Time periods:
M → 7 months, N → 6 months
Profit ratio:
$(x + 79{,}000)\times 7 : x \times 6$
Given total profit = ₹6705 and M gets ₹745 more than N.
Let N’s share = ₹$y$, then M’s share = ₹$(y + 745)$
$y + (y + 745) = 6705$
$2y + 745 = 6705$
$2y = 5960 \Rightarrow y = 2980$
So,
N’s share = ₹2980
M’s share = ₹3725
Thus ratio:
$3725 : 2980 = 5 : 4$
Now,
$\frac{(x + 79{,}000)\times 7}{x \times 6} = \frac{5}{4}$
$\frac{7(x + 79{,}000)}{6x} = \frac{5}{4}$
Cross multiply:
$28(x + 79{,}000) = 30x$
$28x + 22{,}12{,}000 = 30x$
$22{,}12{,}000 = 2x \Rightarrow x = 11{,}06{,}000$
So, M’s capital:
$x + 79{,}000 = 11{,}85{,}000$
Final Answer: ₹11,85,000
