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:
Answer: Option
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 x | 21 |  |
= Rs. 14,700. |
| 50 |

But the amount of B' share is not more than amount of A' share.

21+17+12=50.
35000=profit, 35000*21/50.
35000=profit, 35000*21/50.

Better to calculate in this way.
A = 4000 more than B
B = 5000 more than C
C- = ?
Let's have a look.
C = assume x there're
c = x + ?+ b = x + 5000 + a = x + 5000 + 4000 = 50000.
c = 3x + 14000 = 50000.
c =3x+ 50000 - 14000.
= 3x = 36000.
x = 36000/3.
c = 12000.
Here total c is 12000.
Then b = 12000 + 5000 = 17000.
Then a = 12000 + 5000 + 4000 = 21000.
Tatio= 12 : 17 : 21(a,b,c).
Total 35000 * 21/50(12 + 17 + 21) = 50.
14700.
A = 4000 more than B
B = 5000 more than C

Then b = 12000 + 5000 = 17000.
Then a = 12000 + 5000 + 4000 = 21000.
Tatio= 12 : 17 : 21(a,b,c).
Total 35000 * 21/50(12 + 17 + 21) = 50.
14700.

A+B+C = 50000.
Let, C = C.
B = 5000+C.
A = B+4000 (substitute B (i.e A = 5000+C+4000) ).
RESULT: A+B+C = 50000.
5000+C+C+5000+C+4000 = 50000.
3C = 50000-14000.
C = 36000/3 = 12000.
B = 5000+12000 = 17000.
A = 17000+4000 = 21000.
A's receive = (21000/50000)*35000 = 14700 (i.e favorable outcomes of A/total outcomes)*profit.
Don't know much if mistake let me know!

Why A = x+5000+4000 taken. It is that A invests 4000 more than B?
Can anyone explain this?
