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 |

x+x+5000+x+9000 = 50000.
Where how 50000 has came? Can anyone explain me right now?

Please explain why can't we take it as follows:
B = A-4000, C = A-4000-5000 = A-9000; I mean in terms of A.
According to question:
A:A-4000:A-9000.
A+A-4000+A-9000 = 50000.
3A-13000 = 50000.
3A = 37000.
A = 37000/3.
And so on. Why isn't the answer coming correct?
So, A's profit = 35000x37000.
B = A-4000, C = A-4000-5000 = A-9000; I mean in terms of A.
According to question:
A:A-4000:A-9000.
A+A-4000+A-9000 = 50000.
3A-13000 = 50000.
3A = 37000.
A = 37000/3.
And so on. Why isn't the answer coming correct?
So, A's profit = 35000x37000.

Add up investment & equate to profit in ratio:
= x+x+4000+x+9000.
= 3x+14000 = 50000.
x = 36000/3 = 12000.
A share's = 12000+9000 = 21000.
= x+x+4000+x+9000.
= 3x+14000 = 50000.
x = 36000/3 = 12000.
A share's = 12000+9000 = 21000.

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

c = x; b = x + 5000; a = x + 5000 + 4000;
So,
(x) + (x + 5000) + (x + 5000 + 4000) = 50000.
3x + 14000 = 50000.
3x = 50000-14000.
3x = 36000.
x = 36000 / 3.
x = 12000(c).
c = 12000.
b = 12000 + 5000 = 17000.
a = 12000 + 5000 + 4000 = 21000.
So, A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12.
A's share = 35000 * 21/50 = Rs.14700.
I hope you understood.
So,
(x) + (x + 5000) + (x + 5000 + 4000) = 50000.
3x + 14000 = 50000.
3x = 50000-14000.
3x = 36000.
x = 36000 / 3.
x = 12000(c).
c = 12000.
b = 12000 + 5000 = 17000.
a = 12000 + 5000 + 4000 = 21000.
So, A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12.
A's share = 35000 * 21/50 = Rs.14700.
I hope you understood.

So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000.
3x = 36000.
Kindly explain this two steps?

It's profit % which will distribute among all partner.

Why do we have to multiply by 35000 in the last step ?
