If at the end of the year, B’s profit share out of the total profit was Rs. 12,000, then find the profit share of ‘C’.

A Rs. 5000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Rs. 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Rs. 5500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Rs. 5100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E Rs. 5503 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

ATQ; Amount invested by ‘C’ = [(12000 + 18000)/2] = Rs. 15000 Profit shares of ’A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’, respectively at the end of the year = [(12000 × 12): (18000 × 12):(15000 × 6)] = 8:12:5 Let the total profit received by ‘A’, B’ and ‘C’ at the end of the year be Rs. ‘P’ Profit share of ‘B’ = 12000 = (12/25) × P => P = 12000 × (25/12) = 25000 Profit share of ‘C’ = 25000 × (5/25) = Rs. 5000
