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 |

So,
x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000.
Here x means c =12000.
So,
B's share is 5000 + 12000 = 17000.
A's share is 9000 + 12000 = 21000.
Therefore the ratio is 21:17:12.
x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000.
Here x means c =12000.
So,
B's share is 5000 + 12000 = 17000.
A's share is 9000 + 12000 = 21000.
Therefore the ratio is 21:17:12.
