Question

$A,B,C$ subscribe Rs.$50,000$ for a business. If A subscribes Rs.$4000$ more than $B$ and $B$ Rs.$5000$ more than $C$, out of a total profit of Rs.$35,000$, what will be the amount $A$ receives?

Answer 1

Let $C=x$

$b=x+5000$

$a=x+5000+4000=x+9000$

$\Rightarrow 50,000=x+(x+5000)+(x+9000)$

$\Rightarrow 50,000=3x+14000$

$\Rightarrow 3x=50000-14000=36,000$

$\Rightarrow 3x=36,000$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{36000}{3}=12,000$

$\therefore C=12,000$

$b=x+5000=12000+5000=17000$

$a=x+9000=12,000+9000=21,000$.
