Kashif and Nadeem jointly started a business. Kashif invested three times as Nadeem did and invested his money for double time as compared to Nadeem. Nadeem earned Rs. 4000. If the gain is proportional to the money invested and the time for which the money is invested then the total gain was?
Correct answer: D. Rs.28000
- A. Rs.16000
- B. Rs.20000
- C. Rs.24000
- D. Rs.28000
Explanation
Kashif's money is three times Nadeem's and his investment time is twice Nadeem's, so Kashif's gain is 3 x 2 = 6 times Nadeem's gain. Kashif earns 6 x Rs. 4000 = Rs. 24000, making the total gain Rs. 24000 + Rs. 4000 = Rs. 28000. Option c gives only Kashif's gain and omits Nadeem's Rs. 4000.
