A, B and C started a bussines. A invested $33\frac{1}{3} \%$ of the total capital. B invests $33\frac{1}{3}\%$ of the remaining capital and C, the remaining. If the total profit at the end of the year was ₹ 20,250 then the profit of c excceds the profit of B by:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let the total profit = 9x
Then according to the question,
A invested = 33.3% of 9x = 3x
B invested = 33.3% of (9x-3x) = 2x
and C invested = 9x - 3x - 2x = 4x
Total profit given = 20,250
9x = 20,250
then, x = 2250
and C exceeds B by 4x - 2x = 2x = 225 × 2 = 4500
