₹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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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
