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:

Options:
A .  Rs. 8400
B .  Rs. 11,900
C .  Rs. 13,600
D .  Rs. 14,700
Answer: Option D

Let C = x.


Then, B = x + 5000 and A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000.


So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000


 3x = 36000


 x = 12000


A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12.


Therefore A's share = Rs.  \(\left(35000\times\frac{21}{50}\right)\)   = Rs.14,700.
