₹21,000 is to be distributed between Raj and Karan such that Raj gets ₹9,000 less than Karan. What is the ratio of the amount received by Raj to that received by Karan?

2 : 5

Here,

Raj = x - 9000

Karan = x

⇒ x + x - 9000 = Rs. 21000

⇒ 2x = 21000 + 9000

⇒ 2x = 30000

⇒ x = Rs. 15000.

Raj = x - 9000 = 15,000 - 9000 = Rs. 6000

⇒ Raj : Karan = 6000 : 15000 = 2 : 3
