Question

1) Bishwant and Shahil invested a sum of Rs 72,000 in a business. If the ratio
of their shares is 5 : 4, how much money did each of them invest?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bishwant invested = 5x

Shahil invested = 4x

5x + 4x = 72000

9x = 72000

x = 72000/9000

x = 8000

5x= 5×8000 = 40000

4x = 4×8000 = 32000

so Bishwant invested rupees 40000

Shahil invested rupees 32000
