X and Y invested in a business. They earned some profit which they divided in the ratio of 2: If X invested Tk. 40,000, the amount invested by Y is:

A Tk. 45,000

B Tk. 50,000

C Tk. 60,000

D Tk. 80,000

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

The ratio is = X:Y = 2:3

Thus,

2a/3a = 40,000/ Y

or, Y = 40,000*3a/2a = 40,000*3/2 = 60,000
