Explanation:

Initial Ratio of investment by A and B = 2 : 3
Let their respective investments are 2x and 3x
According to the question,
If A added Rs. 10,000 to his investment
Then New Ratio = 3 : 2
2x + 10,000 / 3x = 3/2
4x + 20,000 = 9x
5x = 20000
x = 4000
→ Original investment by A = 2 × 4000 = Rs.8000
