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 |

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

Because total share is 50 thats why 21/50 [21+17+15=50].
