What was the total output of coconuts?
Explanation:
It is said that Gopal and Ram invested equal amounts initially. Let the amount paid by both of them to Krishna be 2x and 3x respectively. Gopal further invested Rs. 2 lakh. Hence, we can say (2x + 2) = 3x or x = 2 lakh. Hence, the initial amounts paid by Gopal and Ram to Krishna is 4 lakh and 6 lakh. So Gopal and Ram together put in (6 + 6) = 12 lakh initially (note that this includes Rs. 2 lakh put in by Gopal later). The total revenue generated is 25% of 12 lakh = 3 lakh. The revenue from coconut and lemon trees are in the ratio 3 : 2. Hence, 3 lakh when divided in the ratio 3 : 2 gives Rs. 1,80,000 from coconut and Rs. 1,20,000 from lemons. And since each coconut costs Rs. 5, the total output of coconut would be 1800005 = 36000
