Question: Masud and Akram invested in a business and gained a profit which was divided in the ratio of 2 : 3. If Masud invested Tk. 80000, then what was the amount invested by Akram?

Solution:
Given ratio = 2 : 3
Let,
Masud invested 2x Taka
Akram invested 3x Taka

ATQ,
2x = 80000
∴ x = 40000

∴ Akram invested 3x Taka = 3 × 40000 Taka
= 120000 Taka
