Question

Prakash invested 30% more than ramesh while Ramesh invested 25% more than pranav.the total investment is 77,500rs. What is the amount invested by Prakash?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Pranav invested Rs.X

Amount invested by

Ramesh = Rs.5X/4 (25% of X +X)

Prakash = Rs.13X/8 (30% of 5X/4 +5X/4)

Total investment =Rs. 77,500

Investment by Pranav + Ramesh + Prakash =Rs. 77,500

X+5X/4+13X/8 = 77,500

(8X+10X+13X)/8=77,500

31X = 77,500×8

X = (77,500×8)/31

X = 2500×8 = Rs.20,000

Amount invested by Prakash = 13X/8 = (13×20,000)/8 = 13×2500 = Rs. 32,500
