    Let share of Raghu be 100. Then share of Mona = 90 and share of Sonu = 99
    Sonu : Mona : Raghu = 99 : 90 : 100
    ∴ Investment of Raghu = [100/(99 + 90 + 100)] x 5780

    Correct Option: B

    Let share of Raghu be 100. Then share of Mona = 90 and share of Sonu = 99
    Sonu : Mona : Raghu = 99 : 90 : 100
    ∴ Investment of Raghu = [100/(99 + 90 + 100)] x 5780
    = (100/289) x 5780 = ₹ 2000

    Here, p1 : p2 : p3 = 5 : 3 : 1 and x1 : x2 : x3 = 5 : 6 : 8
    According to the formula,
    Required ratio = p1/x1 : p2/x2 : p3/x3

    Correct Option: D

    Here, p1 : p2 : p3 = 5 : 3 : 1 and x1 : x2 : x3 = 5 : 6 : 8
    According to the formula,
    Required ratio = p1/x1 : p2/x2 : p3/x3
    = 5/5 : 3/6 : 1/8
    = 1 : 1/2 : 1/8 = 8 : 8/2 : 8/8 = 8 : 4 : 1



  1. Four milkmen rented a pasture. A grazed 18 cows for 4 months, B grazed 25 cows for 2 months, C grazed 28 cows for 5 months and D grazed 21 cows for 3 months. If A's share of rent is ₹ 720, what will be the total rent of the pasture ?

    Ratio of rents of A, B, C and D
    = (18 x 4) : (25 x 2) : (28 x 5) : (21 x 3)
    = 72 : 50 : 140 : 63

    Let the total rent be N.
    Then, A's share = [72N / (72 + 50 + 140 + 63)] = 72N/325

    Correct Option: B

    Ratio of rents of A, B, C and D
    = (18 x 4) : (25 x 2) : (28 x 5) : (21 x 3)
    = 72 : 50 : 140 : 63

    Let the total rent be N.
    Then, A's share = [72N / (72 + 50 + 140 + 63)] = 72N/325

    According to the question. 72N/325 = 720
    ∴ N = (720 x 325)/72 = 3250
    ∴ Total Rent = ͭ 3250

  1. P, Q and R are three partners in a business. If P's capital is equal to twice the capital of Q and Q's capital is three times the capital of R, find the ratio of the capital of P,Q and R.

    Let the capital of R = N
    Then, capital of Q = 3N,
    and capital of P = 6N

    ∴ P's capital : Q's capital : R's capital = 6N : 3N : N

    Correct Option: A

    Let the capital of R = N
    Then, capital of Q = 3N,
    and capital of P = 6N

    ∴ P's capital : Q's capital : R's capital = 6N : 3N : N
    = 6 : 3 : 1
