Question

In a business, Neetika and Geetika invest one-fourth and three-fourth of the total investment respectively. If ₹48,000 is the total investment. Who invested more and by how much?

• A. Neetika, ₹18,000
• B. Geetika, ₹24,000
• C. Both invested equally, No difference
• D. Neetika, ₹12,000

Answer 1

The correct option is B Geetika, ₹24,000

Total Investment = ₹48,000

Neetika's investment

$=\frac{1}{4}$ of ₹48,000

$=\frac{1}{4}\times ₹48,000$

$=₹12,000$

Geetika's investment

$=\frac{3}{4}$ of ₹48,000

$=\frac{3}{4}\times ₹48,000$

= ₹36,000

Hence Geetika's investment is more than Neetika's investment.

Difference = 36,000 - 12,000 = 24,000

Hence, Geetika invested ₹24,000 more than Neetika.
