Let the A's share be 'x'

and B+C's share be 7000-x

Given that

x = (3/7) of (7000-x)

Solving for x

7x = 21000 - 3x

10x = 21000

x = 2100

A's share is Rs.2100

Answer 2

Answer:

A's share is Rs. $2100$.

According to question:

$x=\frac{3}{7}(7000-x)$

$7x=21000-3x\\10x=21000\\x=2100$

Therefore share of A is Rs. 2100.
