Answer 2

Answer:

6.5 Lakhs

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Maria invested 15/2 lakhs in her business

After one year, her loss was  2/15  of the investment.

So, maria has invested 7.5 Lakhs Rupees in her business , and we have to calculate the amount of money left my Maria after 1 year , after the loss.

We have to calculate 2/1 5 of the given whole amount of money.

So, these would be equal to $7.5 \times \frac{2}{15}$ lakhs

= 1 lakhs

So, Maria had a total loss of 1 lakh Rupees in 1 year.

Now, the amount of money left by meera is the difference of total amount of money invested and loss she suffered in 1 year.

Amount of money left by Meera will be (7.5 lakhs - 1 lakhs) = 6.5 Lakhs

∴ Amount of money left by Meera will be 6.5 Lakhs
