The correct Answer is:
To determine Nikita's share in the profit of Rs. 50,000 earned in the business run in partnership with Sharmila, we need to analyze the information provided in Statements I and II. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I Statement I states that "Nikita invested an amount 150% of the amount invested by Sharmila." Let the amount invested by Sharmila be denoted as \( S \). Then, according to Statement I, the amount invested by Nikita \( N \) can be expressed as: \[ N = 1.5S \] ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II Statement II states that "The amount invested by Sharmila is two-thirds of the amount invested by Nikita." This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ S = \frac{2}{3}N \] ### Step 3: Relate the Two Statements Now we have two equations from the statements: 1. From Statement I: \( N = 1.5S \) 2. From Statement II: \( S = \frac{2}{3}N \) We can substitute \( N \) from the first equation into the second equation: \[ S = \frac{2}{3}(1.5S) \] \[ S = \frac{2 \times 1.5}{3}S \] \[ S = \frac{3}{3}S \] This simplifies to \( S = S \), which is always true, indicating that both statements are consistent with each other. ### Step 4: Calculate the Profit Share To find Nikita's share in the profit, we need to determine the ratio of their investments: From Statement I, we have: \[ N = 1.5S \] The total investment \( T \) is: \[ T = N + S = 1.5S + S = 2.5S \] Now, the share of profit is distributed in the ratio of their investments: - Nikita's share = \( \frac{N}{T} \times \text{Total Profit} \) - Sharmila's share = \( \frac{S}{T} \times \text{Total Profit} \) Calculating Nikita's share: \[ \text{Nikita's share} = \frac{1.5S}{2.5S} \times 50000 \] \[ = \frac{1.5}{2.5} \times 50000 \] \[ = \frac{3}{5} \times 50000 \] \[ = 30000 \] ### Conclusion Nikita's share in the profit of Rs. 50,000 is Rs. 30,000.
