P and Q invested in a shop. The profits were divided in the ratio of 2 : 3 respectively. If P invested Rs. 40,000, the amount invested by Q is:
Options:
(A) 35000
(B) 40000
(C) 50000
(D) 60000
(E) None Let's think first. Stream of consciousness:
Suppose Q invested Rs. y. Then, 40000/y = 2/3 or y = [40000 x 3 / 2] = 60000.
So, the answer is (D).
