4x - | 1 | x 4x |  |
x 7 |  |
: | |
5x x 3 + | |
5x - | 1 | x 5x | |
x 7 | |
| 4 | 5 |
= (12x + 21x) : (15x + 28x)
= 33x :43x
= 33 : 43.
 A's share = Rs. |

After reducing the capital why we again multiply with 4x i.e (4x-1/4*4x).

Can anybody solve this?
2/5th of Anil salary is equal to Bhuvans salary and 7/9th of Bhuvans salary is equal to Chandra's salary. If the sum of the salary of all of them is 77000. Then how much is Bhuvans salary?

@Mary.
Get the ratios of salaries of Anil, Bhuvans, and Chandras from the info you mentioned (45:18:14=77).
Given the total amount 77000/77*18=18000.
Hence B's salary is 18k.

A invests for 3 months N = 4x * 3
1/4th of capital(4x)= 4x-1/4(4x) this is for (10-3) months investment
i.e Let M=(4x-(1/4)4x)*7
B investment for 3 months O =5x*3
1/5th of capital(5x)= 5x-1/5(5x) this is for (10-3) months investment
i.e P=(5x-(1/5)5x)*7
Ratio: (N+M):(O+P)
I think this will clear your doubt
