Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In a partnership, the ratio of profits is directly proportional to the ratio of investments (assuming the time period is same). \frac{Investment of Rishika}{Investment of Akash} = \frac{Profit of Rishika}{Profit of Akash} Let the investment of Akash be ₹ x . \frac{1875}{x} = \frac{225}{288} Solving for x : x = \frac{1875 \times 288}{225} x = 25 \times 96 = 2400 Therefore, Akash invested ₹ 2400 .
