A, B, and C started a business. A contributed Rs. 12,000, B contributed Rs. 15,000, and C contributed Rs. 18,000. After 6 months, B withdrew Rs. 5,000, while C added Rs. 10,000. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs. 54,000; how much did C receive?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
A = 12,000 (12 months)
B = 15,000 (6 months), then 10,000 (6 months)
C = 18,000 (6 months), then 28,000 (6 months)
Total Profit = 54,000
A = 12,000 × 12 = 144,000
B = 15,000 × 6 + 10,000 × 6 = 150,000
C = 18,000 × 6 + 28,000 × 6 = 276,000
Ratio = A : B : C = 144,000 : 150,000 : 276,000 = 24 : 25 : 46
Total Shares = 24 + 25 + 46 = 95
C's Profit
