    Three women started a business by sharing equal amount of the total investment. After some calculations they found that if they get two more equal investors, each of the five will have to pay Rs. 15000 less. What was the total investment?

    A)  Rs. 225000

    B)  Rs. 112500

    C)  Rs. 125000

    D)  Rs. 150000

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Total investment = Rs. x Investment by each of three members \[=\frac{x}{3}\] If two more friends invest, the investment by each member \[=\frac{x}{5}\]     \[\therefore \]     \[\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{5}=15000\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{5x-3x}{15}=15000\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2x=15000\times 15\] \[\therefore \]      \[x=\frac{15000\times 15}{2}\]= Rs. 112500
