Question

A, B and C start a business with a sum of 50,000. A invests 4,000 more than B and B invests 5,000 more than C. What will be A's share if total profit is * 35,000 ?

(1) 36,000

(3) 35,490

(5) None of these

(2) 35,000 (4) 36,500​

Answer 1

Answer: A) 14700

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 * 21/50 ) = Rs. 14,700.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: A) 14700

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 * 21/50 ) = Rs. 14,700.
