An amount is divided between two friends in the ratio 2 : 5. If the second part is Rs 6 more than the first, then the initial amount is:

Correct option is D

Given:

Ratio 2:5, second part 6 more than the first.

Solution: 

Let amount be 2x and 5x

The problem states that the second part is Rs 6 more than the first part:

So, 

5x − 2x = 6 

3x = 6 

x = 2 

Substituting x = 2 

So the initial amount 

5x + 2x = 7x = 7 × 2 = 14 Rs.
