Question
A, B and C enter into a partnership with a capital in
which A’s contribution is Rs. 14,000. If out of a total profit of Rs. 900, A gets Rs. 400 and B gets Rs. 200, then C’s capital is:Solution
A : B : C = 400 : 200 : 300 = 4:2:3 Let their capitals be 4x, 2x and 3x respectively. Then, 4x = 14000 => x = 3500 C’s capital = 3x = Rs. 10500
