A, B and C start a business. A invests 33% of the total capital, B invests 25% of the remaining, and C, the rest. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs 2,19,000, then A's share ( in Rs):
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 73,000
Let total sum = 300 unit
⇒Investment of A = 300 × = 100 unit
⇒Investment of B = 300-100 = 200 × = 50
⇒Investment of C = 300 - (100 + 50) = 300 -150= 150 unit
The ratio of investment in 1 year
⇒A : B : C = 100 : 50 : 150 = 2 : 1 : 3
⇒Total profit = 6 unit = 219000 Rs
⇒1 unit = 36500 Rs
so the share of A’s Profit = 2 unit = 2 × 36500 = Rs 73000.
