Question

Virat and Samrat together invested 50000 and 120000 rupees to start a business
They suffered a loss of 20%. How much loss did each of them incur?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total investment = Rs 50000 + Rs 120000 = Rs 170000

Loss incurred = 20%

∴ Total loss = 20% of 170000

= 20/100 x 170000

= Rs 34000

Proportion of investment = 50000 : 120000

= 5 : 12 …. (Dividingby 10000)

Let the loss incurred by Virat be Rs 5x and that by Samrat be Rs 12x.

5x + 12x = 34000

∴ 17x = 34000

∴ x = 34000/17 = 2000

∴ Virat’s loss = 5x = 5 × 2000 = Rs 10000

Samrat’s loss = 12x = 12 × 2000 = Rs 24000

∴ The loss incurred by Virat and Samrat are Rs 10000 and Rs 24000 respectively.
