The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote the investments of Sonu, Mona, and Raghu as S, M, and R respectively. ### Step 1: Establish Relationships From the problem statement: - Sonu invested 10% more than Mona: \( S = M + 0.1M = 1.1M \) - Mona invested 10% less than Raghu: \( M = R - 0.1R = 0.9R \) ### Step 2: Substitute Mona's Investment in Sonu's Investment Now, substitute the expression for M in the equation for S: \( S = 1.1M = 1.1(0.9R) = 0.99R \) ### Step 3: Write the Total Investment Equation The total investment of all three persons is given as Rs 5780: \( S + M + R = 5780 \) Substituting the expressions for S and M: \( 0.99R + 0.9R + R = 5780 \) ### Step 4: Combine Like Terms Combine the terms on the left side: \( (0.99R + 0.9R + 1R) = 5780 \) This simplifies to: \( 2.89R = 5780 \) ### Step 5: Solve for Raghu's Investment Now, solve for R: \( R = \frac{5780}{2.89} \) ### Step 6: Calculate the Value Perform the division: \( R = 2000 \) ### Conclusion Thus, Raghu's investment is Rs 2000. ---
