Given: Yogesh and Mohan, two business partners, invest Rs. 21000 and Rs. 17500 respectively in their garment business and at the end of the year both of them
make a profit of Rs. 26400.
Asked: Find their individual shares in the profit.

Ratio of investments made by Yogesh and Mohan = 21000:17500 = 6:5
Let the profits of Yogesh and Mohan be 6x & 5x

6x + 5x = 11x = 26400
x = 2400

Profits of Yogesh and Mohan = 14400 & 12000

IMO A

Used Estimation and traditional algebra. I first added the two numbers together and then found what percentage 21k is of the total. I then multiplied that percentage number by the profit number to get Yogesh's share of the profit. The difference is Mohan's.

21,000+17,500= 38,500

21000/38500= ~56%

I rounded to 60% and used that as Yogesh's figure.
60% x 26400 = 15840.

I could go on and do more math to find Mohan's, but the most logical choice here is A. 14,400 is the closest to the figure I used.
