A, B, and C each invest Rs. 50,000 in a firm. A pays Rs. 4000 more than B, whereas B pays Rs. 5000 more than C. A earns the following from a total profit of Rs. 35,000:
A. Rs. 8400 B. Rs. 11,900 C. Rs. 13,600 D. Rs. 14,700
Explanation: Let C equal x.B = x + 5000 and A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000, respectively.As a result, x + x + 5000 + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 5000036000 = 3x,12000 = x.21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12. A : B : C = 21 : 17 : 12.A's portion is equal to Rs. 35000 x 21/50 = Rs. 14,700.
