Answer 1

Answer:

8000

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial Ratio of investments by A and B = 2 : 3  

Let their respective investments are 2x and 3x

According to question.

If A added Rs. 10,000 to his investment

Then New Ratio = 3 : 2  

2x+100003x=32

4x + 20000 = 9x

5x = 20000

x = Rs. 4000

=> original investment by A = 2×4000= Rs.8000
