Answer:

Rs. 924000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of house = 765000

Additional money spent on it = 115000

Total cost incurred by Ravi = 765000 + 115000 = 880000

Gain = 5% of total cost

gain in Rs = 5/100 * 880000 = Rs. 44000

Total selling price of house = total cost incurred + profit = 880000+ 44000

Total selling price of house = Rs. 924000

Thus, Ravi got Rs. 924000.
