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:

8400

11900

13600

14700

Correct Answer:

14700

Explanation:

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.
A's share = Rs. 35000*21/50= Rs 14,700
