The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning laid out in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Understand the investments and time periods Veer invests Rs 6000 for x months, and Manyu invests Rs 8000 for (x + 4) months. ### Step 2: Calculate the ratio of investments The ratio of their investments is: - Veer's investment = 6000 - Manyu's investment = 8000 This can be simplified: \[ \text{Investment Ratio} = \frac{6000}{8000} = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the ratio of time The time periods for their investments are: - Veer's time = x months - Manyu's time = (x + 4) months The time ratio is: \[ \text{Time Ratio} = \frac{x}{x + 4} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the profit ratio The profit share is calculated based on the product of investment and time. Therefore, the profit ratio can be expressed as: \[ \text{Profit Ratio} = \text{Investment Ratio} \times \text{Time Ratio} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{3x}{4(x + 4)} \] ### Step 5: Set up the profit shares Let Manyu's profit be \( y \). According to the problem, Veer's profit is Rs 3900 less than Manyu's profit: \[ \text{Veer's Profit} = y - 3900 \] ### Step 6: Total profit equation The total profit is given as Rs 12900: \[ y + (y - 3900) = 12900 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 2y - 3900 = 12900 \] \[ 2y = 16800 \] \[ y = 8400 \] ### Step 7: Calculate Veer's profit Now we can find Veer's profit: \[ \text{Veer's Profit} = y - 3900 = 8400 - 3900 = 4500 \] ### Step 8: Set up the equation based on profit ratios Now we can set up the equation using the profit ratio: \[ \frac{3x}{4(x + 4)} = \frac{4500}{8400} \] ### Step 9: Simplify the right side Simplifying the right side: \[ \frac{4500}{8400} = \frac{15}{28} \] ### Step 10: Cross-multiply to solve for x Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 3x \cdot 28 = 4(x + 4) \cdot 15 \] \[ 84x = 60x + 240 \] ### Step 11: Solve for x Rearranging gives: \[ 84x - 60x = 240 \] \[ 24x = 240 \] \[ x = 10 \] ### Conclusion The value of \( x \) is 10 months.
