X and Y put in 3,000 and 4,000 respectively into a business. X reinvests into the business his share of the first year?s profit of 2,100 whereas Y does not reinvest. In what ratio should they share the second year?s profit? Pick one:  A) 39 : 40  B) 3 : 4  C) 3 : 7  D) 40 : 79  E) None of these
For first year, ratio of profit = 3 : 4   X?s profit of first year = 3?7 � 2100 = 900   Now, for second year,Now, for second year,   ratio of profit = 3000 � 12 + 900 � 12 : 4000 � 12   = 46800 : 48000 = 39 :40   39 : 40nswer 39 : 40
