IBPS SO Prelims Exam Model Paper 5

Given:
X’s investment in first 6 months = 19000
Y’s investment in first 6 months = 22000
X’s investment in last 6 months = 30000
Y’s investment in last 6 months = 33000
Total profit = 52000
Concept:
Ratio in which they should share the profit = ratio of (investment × time period)
Calculation:
Ratio in which X and Y should share profit = (19000 × 6 + 30000 × 6) : (22000 × 6 + 33000 × 6)
⇒ X : Y = (49000 × 6) : (55000 × 6)
⇒ X : Y = 49 : 55
Difference between the shares of Y and X = 52000 ×

6

104

= 3000
∴ Share of Y exceeds X by 3000
