Question

In a business, Shyam and Rahul invest $\frac{3}{8}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$ of the total investment. If ₹ 48,000 is the total investment. Who invested more and by how much?

• A. i) Shyam ii) ₹ 18,000
• B. i) Rahul ii) ₹ 12,000
• C. i) Both invested equally ii) No difference
• D. i) Rahul ii) ₹30,000

Answer 1

The correct option is B

i) Rahul ii) ₹ 12,000

Total Investment = ₹ 48,000

Shyam's investment = $\frac{3}{8}$ of ₹ 48,000 = ₹ 18,000

Rahul's investment = $\frac{5}{8}$ of ₹ 48,000 = ₹ 30,000

Hence Rahul 's investment is more than Shyam's

Difference = 30,000 - 18,000 = 12,000

Hence Rahul invested ₹ 12,000 more than Shyam
