पर्याय

• ₹ 20,000

• ₹ 22,000

• ₹ 21,000

• ₹ 23,000

Answer 1

₹ 22,000

Explanation:

Let A contributed x and B (30000−x)

then in Ratio, they will get profit`="x"/(30000-"x")`

when Ratio is exchanged i.e.`=(30000-"x")/"x"`

ATQ

`(30000-"x")-"x"=175/100"x"`

`30000-2"x"=175/100"x"`

`30000=175/100"x"+2"x"`

`30000=375/100"x"`

8000 = x

30000 − x =30000 − 8000

= 22000
