      Jagat, Uma, Pari invest Rs. 55,000 for a business,

      Jagat invests Rs.2000 more than Uma and Uma invests Rs. 1000 more than Pari. Out of a total profit of Rs. 33,000, Jagat receives:
      A Rs.20000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.12000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.26000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.42500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let Pari invests Rs. x. Then Uma = x + 1000, and Jagat = x + 1000 + 2000 = x + 3000. x + x + 1000 + x + 3000 = 55000 => 3x = 51000 , x = 17000. Investment ratios = Jagat: Uma : Pari = 20000 : 18000 : 17000 = 20 : 18 : 17 Jagat’s share in profit = Rs. (33000 * 20/55) = Rs.12,000
