Answer:
{ According to the given condition,
{Total amount = ₹9000}
original share of each person - share of each of the increased persons = ₹ 160
{on dividing both sides by 40, we get}
{ on putting y= x + 20 from Eq. (i) in Eq. (ii), we get}
But number of persons cannot be negative.
Hence, the original number of person = 25
