Answer 2

Rama Rao worked as an independent agent and had invested all his money into the "Gramophone Company". He was doing well and lived a comfortable life, until the company started falling apart, after the death of a financier who had an account at the Lahore Bank. The sudden crash in the stock exchange market also had its impact on Rama Rao's business, and he started experiencing difficulties in his business. His savings were being eaten into and slowly Rama Rao lost his job.
