    Solution

    We can say that let the amounts invested by Puneet and Malik be Rs. 4p and 5p respectively. According to question, (4p ├Ч 6 + (4p тАУ 5000) ├Ч 6)/(5p ├Ч 6 + (5p тАУ 5000) ├Ч 6) = 3/5 (8p тАУ 5000)/(10p тАУ 5000) = 3/5 40p тАУ 25000 = 30p тАУ 15000 10p = 10000 p = 1000 Desired amount = 9 ├Ч 1000 = Rs.9,000
