A man owns $\frac{2}{3}$ of the market research bureau business and sells $\frac{3}{4}$ of his shares for ₹ 75000. What is the value of business? (Campus Recruitment, 2010)
Answer
Answer (as printed):
Explanation
Let the total value be ₹ $x$. Then, $\frac{3}{4}$ of $\frac{2}{3}$ of $x=75000 \Leftrightarrow \frac{x}{2}=75000 \Leftrightarrow x=150000$. ∴ Value of business = ₹ 150000.
