A, B and C started a shop by investing 27000, 81000 and 72000 respectively. At the end of the year, B's share of total profit was 36000. What was the total profit ?

Answer

Answer :

Option C

Explanation :


A : B : C = 27000 : 81000 : 72000 = 3 : 9 : 8
Let the total profit be Rs. x
Then, B's share = Rs. x x 9 20
∴ 9x 20 = 36000 ⇒ x = 80000
Hence, the total profit of B is Rs. 80000

Let C's capital be Rs. x. Then,
B's capital = Rs. 3x and A's capital = Rs. 6x
A : B : C = 6x : 3x : x = 6 : 3 : 1

Answer

Answer :

Option B

Explanation :


Suppose A, B and C invests Rs. x, Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively.
A : B : C = (x x 12) : (2x x 6) : (3x x 4) = 12x : 12x : 12x = 1 : 1 : 1
C's share = Rs. 27000 x 1 3 = Rs. 9000

A, B and C subscribe 50000 for a business. A subscribes 4000 more than B and B 5000 more than C. Out of the total profit of 35000, A receives

Answer

Answer :

Option D

Explanation :


Let the investment of C, B and A be Rs. x, Rs. (x + 5000) and Rs. (x + 9000) respectively. Then,
x + (x + 5000) + (x + 9000) = 50000 ⇒ 3x = 36000 ⇒ x = 12000
∴ C = Rs. 12000, B = Rs. 17000, A = Rs. 21000
A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12
A's share = Rs. 35000 x 21 50 = Rs. 14700
