a) Ujeli: Rs. 27,000, Batuli: Rs. 40,500, Mangali: Rs. 67,500
b) Ujeli: Rs. 45,000, Batuli: Rs. 35,000, Mangali: Rs. 55,000
c) Ujeli: Rs. 20,000, Batuli: Rs. 30,000, Mangali: Rs. 40,000
d) Ujeli: Rs. 15,000, Batuli: Rs. 25,000, Mangali: Rs. 35,000

Answer 1

After calculating the value of one part from the total investment and the given ratio, Ujeli invested Rs. 30,000, Batuli invested Rs. 45,000, and Mangali invested Rs. 60,000 in the business.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the investment of each friend in the business, we first need to calculate the total parts represented by the ratio 2:3:4. Adding these together gives us 2+3+4 = 9 parts. The total amount of money invested is Rs. 1,35,000. To find the value of one part, we divide the total investment by the total number of parts:

Rs. 1,35,000 ÷ 9 parts = Rs. 15,000 per part

Now we can find the investment for each friend by multiplying the number of parts each friend has with the value of one part:

• Ujeli invested 2 parts: 2 parts × Rs. 15,000/part = Rs. 30,000
• Batuli invested 3 parts: 3 parts × Rs. 15,000/part = Rs. 45,000
• Mangali invested 4 parts: 4 parts × Rs. 15,000/part = Rs. 60,000

Therefore, Ujeli invested Rs. 30,000, Batuli invested Rs. 45,000, and Mangali invested Rs. 60,000.
