Answer 2

Hence, C invest Rs. 16000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A invested 125% as much money as B

So, ratio becomes,

$\dfrac{A}{B}=\dfrac{125}{100}=\dfrac{5}{4}$

C invested 80% as much money as B has.

$\dfrac{B}{C}=\dfrac{100}{80}=\dfrac{5}{4}$

So, Ratio of A to B to C would be

A  :   B  :  C

5  :    4

         5 :   4

-------------------------------

25  :  20  : 16

Total of all the three = Rs. 61000

So, Amount of C invested is given by

$\dfrac{16}{61}\times 61000\\\\=Rs.\ 16000$

Hence, C invest Rs. 16000.
