Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let investment of b=x ; time=4

profit=4x

investment of a=x+375; time=8

profit= 8x+ 3000

according to the question:

profit:

a-b=75

a+b=125 (adding both the equations)

we can infer,

2a=200

thus, a=100, b=25

ratio of 100:25= 4:1

now, 8x+3000/4x =4/1

solving the equation we get,

8x+ 3000=16x

8x=3000

x=375

therefore,

investment of b=₹ 375

investment of a=₹ 750(375+375)
