Given:

Investment of Jay = Rs. 12

Investment of Ajay = Rs. 16000

Total Annual Profit = Rs. 5100

Time period of investment of Jay = 12 months

Time period of investment o Ajay = 8 months

Concept Used:

Profit Ratio = (Investment × Time Period) 

Calculation:

Investment × Time Period of Jay = 12000 × 12

Investment × Time Period of Ajay = 16000 × 8

⇒ Profit ratio of Jay : Ajay = 12000 × 12 : 16000 × 8 = 9 : 8

Now, Share of Ajay = 5100 × $\frac{8}{17}$ = 2400

∴ Share of Ajay = Rs. 2400.

The correct answer is option 3) i.e. He was seen stealing by someone.

Key Points  

• In Active Voice, a sentence emphasizes subject performing an action.
• In Passive Voice, a sentence emphasizes the action or the object of the sentence.
• When we convert this sentence into passive voice, the subject and the object exchange their places.
• The passive format "Was + V₃" should be used.
• This is the active and passive voice rule for the past simple tense.
• Hence, "He was seen stealing by someone" is the correct passive voice.

Height (h) = 12 cm

Radius (r) = 6 cm

Formula used:

Volume of cone = (1/3) × π × r² × h

Calculations:

Volume = (1/3) × π × 6² × 12

⇒ Volume = (1/3) × π × 36 × 12

⇒ Volume = (1/3) × π × 432

⇒ Volume = 144π cm³

∴ Volume of the conical vessel = 144π cm³
