The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define the investments of Sonu, Mona, and Raghu based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Define the investments Let Raghu's investment be \( R \). Since Mona invested 10% less than Raghu, we can express Mona's investment as: \[ M = R - 0.1R = 0.9R \] Sonu invested 10% more than Mona, so we can express Sonu's investment as: \[ S = M + 0.1M = 1.1M = 1.1(0.9R) = 0.99R \] ### Step 2: Write the total investment equation The total investment of all three persons is given as \( 5780 \). Therefore, we can write: \[ S + M + R = 5780 \] Substituting the expressions for \( S \) and \( M \): \[ 0.99R + 0.9R + R = 5780 \] ### Step 3: Combine the investments Now, combine the terms: \[ (0.99R + 0.9R + R) = (0.99 + 0.9 + 1)R = 2.89R \] Thus, we have: \[ 2.89R = 5780 \] ### Step 4: Solve for Raghu's investment To find \( R \), we divide both sides by \( 2.89 \): \[ R = \frac{5780}{2.89} \] Calculating this gives: \[ R \approx 2000 \] ### Conclusion Therefore, Raghu's investment is \( 2000 \).
