Question:

A, B and C enter into partnership in a business. A gets \(\frac{3}{5}\)th of the profit and B and C distributed the remaining profit equally. If C gets Rs.400 less than A, then the total profit is:

Options:

Rs. 1600

Rs. 1200

Rs. 1000

Rs. 800

Correct Answer:

Rs. 1000

Explanation:

Let the total profit = 5 unit

A's profit = \(\frac{3}{5}\) of 5 = 3

Remaining profit = 2 unit

B's profit = 1R

C's profit = 1R

ATQ,

Difference b/w A's and C's profit = 2R

2R = 400

1R = 200

Total Profit = 5R = 5 × 200 = 1000
