Answer 1

Hi.

Here is your answer---

_____________________


Let the Profit of A, B and C BE 2x, 3x and 7x respectively.

Average Gain = 8000.

Now,

  Average Gain = Profit of (A + B + C)/3
                8000 =  (2x + 3x + 7x)/3
               2400 = 12x
                   x = 2400/12
                   x = 200

Thus,

A's Share = 2x
                = 2 × 200
                = Rs.400

C's Share = 7x
                 = 7 × 200
                 = Rs.1400

B's Share = 3x
                = 3 × 200
                = Rs.600

Thus, B's Share is Rs. 600.
