Question

$A$, $B$, $C$ subscribe Rs. $50,000$ for a business. A subscribes Rs. $4000$ more than $B$ and $B$ Rs. $5000$ more than $C$. Out of a total profit of Rs. $35,000$, $A$ receives:

• A. Rs. $8400$
• B. Rs. $11,900$
• C. Rs. $13,600$
• D. Rs. $14,700$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs. $14,700$

Let $C=x$.
Then, $B=x+5000$ and $A=x+5000+4000=x+9000$.
So, $x+x+5000+x+9000=50000$
$\Rightarrow 3x=36000$
$\Rightarrow x=12000$
$A:B:C=21000:17000:12000=21:17:12$.
$\therefore$ $A$'s share $=$ Rs. $(35000\times \frac{21}{50})=$ Rs. $14,700$.
