Solve, both equations, X = 13, Y = 15
12. X and Y invested in a business as Rs 7200 and Rs 10,800 respectively. After 4 months Z joined them by investing Rs 9000 and at the same time X added Rs 900 and Y withdrew Rs 900. If the total profit at the end of a year is Rs 64,000, then find the share of Y ?

13. A sum of Rs 4600 is invested in two different schemes. Scheme A offers 8% rate of interest per annum for 3 years and scheme B offers 10% rate of interest compounded annually for 2 years. If after investing the amount in both schemes, the difference in interests received is Rs 24, find the amount invested in scheme B ?
A. 2100
B. 2400
C. 2500
D. 2600
E. None of these
Sol. (4600-x)*8*3/100 – [x (1 + 10/100)^2 – x] = 24
Solve, x = 2400.
14. A at 20 km/hr starts from point P towards another point Q. After 2 hours of A started, D starts from point Q towards point P. In between they met at half the distance between points P and Q. If A covered one-fourth of total distance in 2 hours, what is the speed of D ?
A. 48
B. 60
C. 48
D. 35
E. 52
Sol. A covered one-fourth of total distance in 2 hours, so 1/2 distance in 4 hours
Now D has covered that same distance that A covered in (4-2) = 2 hours [D started after 2 hrs]
And since distances are same
So distance by A = distance covered by D gives
20*4 = x*2
Solve, x = 40km/hr
15. While listing the ages of people in a group, the age of one of the member which was 24 years was mistakenly written as 34 years. Due to this the average of the ages increased by two-third years. What is the number of people in the group ?
A. 21
B. 15
C. 18
D. 24
E. 12
Sol. Increase in age lead to increase in average by 2/3
So (34-24) = 2x/3
x = 15.

14. A at 20 km/hr starts from point P towards another point Q. After 2 hours of A started, D starts from point Q towards point P. In between they met at half the distance between points P and Q. If A covered one-fourth of total distance in 2 hours, what is the speed of D ?
A. 48
B. 60

So distance by A = distance covered by D gives
20*4 = x*2
Solve, x = 40km/hr
