As there was no other means to reach his destination, Girish had to walk the rest of the distance. It is known that the speed of the bus was twice the speed at which Suraj travelled and the walking speed of Girish was half of the speed of Suraj. When the first person reached the destination, the distance travelled by Suraj and Girish was in the ratio a : b.
While answering the questions:

The ratio of the amount received by Ajay after two years to the amount invested by Ajay is the same as that of the profits earned by Girish to that earned by Suraj during their partnership. What is the value of r? ( Enter integer rounded off to the next digit)

    Group QuestionAnswer the following question based on the information g...
    Let the speed at which Suraj travelled be 2x.
    Girish travelled half the distance by bus, which he travelled at a speed of 4x.
    When Girish travels half the distance, Suraj only covers 1/4th of the distance.

    Suraj has to cover 3/4th of the distance and Girish has to cover half distance. Also, Girish now travels at a speed x whereas Suraj continues to travel at a speed of 2x.
    Suraj will reach the destination first and by that time Girish would have covered 3/8th of the remaining distance.

    Girish covered 7/8 of the entire distance when Suraj travelled the entire distance.
    The ratio of the distance covered by Suraj and Girish is 1/(7/8) = 8:7 
    Hence, a:b = 8:7
    The yearly investment of Girish and Suraj is in the ratio 8:7.
    Suraj joined after one year and invested for six years, whereas Girish invested for all 7 years.
    The ratio of the period of their investment is 7:6.

    Let the amount invested by Ajay be y.
    The amount received by Ajay after 2 years is given as,


    1 + r/50 = 4/3
    r/50 = 1/3
    r = 50/3 = 16.66%
    Answer: 17
