Math Problem Statement

X y z start a web based venture together X invest 50000 rupees for 5 month . Y invest 70000 for 5 month and Z invest 40000 for 10 month. in the first year the venture makes a profit of 2 lakh. a part of profit is shared between Y and Z in ratio of 2 ratio 3 and profit is dividing divided among X, Y and Z in ratio of their initial investments. the amount that Z receives is 4 times the amount that X receives. how much amount does Y recieves?

Solution

Let's break down the problem and solve it step by step.

Step 1: Calculate the total effective investments

Each person invests money for different periods, so we need to calculate the effective investments by multiplying the amount of money they invest by the number of months they invest for.

  • X's effective investment:
    50,000×5=250,00050,000 \times 5 = 250,000 rupees

  • Y's effective investment:
    70,000×5=350,00070,000 \times 5 = 350,000 rupees

  • Z's effective investment:
    40,000×10=400,00040,000 \times 10 = 400,000 rupees

Now, the total effective investment is: 250,000+350,000+400,000=1,000,000 rupees250,000 + 350,000 + 400,000 = 1,000,000 \text{ rupees}

Step 2: Set up profit sharing ratio

The profit is to be divided in the ratio of their effective investments. Thus, the ratio in which the profit is divided among X, Y, and Z is: X : Y : Z=250,000:350,000:400,000=25:35:40\text{X : Y : Z} = 250,000 : 350,000 : 400,000 = 25 : 35 : 40

Let the total profit be denoted by P=2,00,000P = 2,00,000 rupees.

The part of the profit that is divided among X, Y, and Z is given in the ratio of their investments. Also, it is mentioned that Z receives 4 times the amount that X receives.

Step 3: Set up an equation for the amounts received by X, Y, and Z

Let the amount received by X be xx.
Then, according to the problem, the amount received by Z is 4x4x.

The ratio of X to Z is 25:4025:40, which simplifies to 5:85:8. Therefore: ZX=85\frac{Z}{X} = \frac{8}{5} Thus, if XX receives xx, then ZZ must receive 8x8x.
