Pradeep invested 20% more than Mohit. Mohit invested 10% less than Raghu. Total = Rs.17880. Raghu invested:
ARs. 5000
BRs. 6000
CRs. 7000
DRs. 8000
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Rs. 6000
1. Let Raghu = R. Mohit = 0.9R. Pradeep = 1.2 × 0.9R = 1.08R.
2. Sum: R + 0.9R + 1.08R = 2.98R = 17880.
3. R = 17880 / 2.98 = 6000.
