    Pradeep invested 20% more than Mohit. Mohit invest 10% less than Raghu. If the total sum of their investment is Rs. 17880, how much amount did Raghu invest?

    A) Rs. 6000

    B) Rs. 8000

    C) Rs. 7000

    D) Rs. 5000

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let investment of Raghu = Rs. x Then, investment of Mohit = 90% of x = Rs. 0.9x \[\therefore \] Investment of Pradeep = 120% of Mohit investment \[=12\times 0.9x\] Now, ratio of investments of Raghu, Mohit and Pradeep \[=x:0.9x:1.2\times 0.9x\] \[=x:9x:1.08x\] \[=100:90:108=50:45:54\] Hence, investment of Raghu \[=\frac{17880\times 50}{50+45+54}\] \[=\frac{17880\times 50}{149}\] \[=\text{Rs}.\,\,6000\]
