Correct Answer :A - ₹10,000
Detailed Text Solution
Let initial investments be 6x, 7x, and 9x.
After adding amounts:
P = 6x + 30000
Q = 7x + 25000
R = 9x + y
New ratio = 8 : 9 : 11.
So,
(6x + 30000)/8 = (7x + 25000)/9.
Cross multiplying:
9(6x + 30000) = 8(7x + 25000)
54x + 270000 = 56x + 200000
70000 = 2x
x = 35000.
Initial investments:
P = 210000
Q = 245000
R = 315000.
Final P = 210000 + 30000 = 240000.
Since ratio part 8 corresponds to 240000,
1 part = 30000.
R final = 11 × 30000 = 330000.
Amount added by R = 330000 − 315000 = ₹10,000.
