Question 65

A, B and C invest to start a restaurant. The total investment was Rs 3 lakhs. B invested Rs 50,000 more than A and C invested Rs 25,000 less than B. If the profit at the end of the year was Rs 14,400 then what is C's share of the profit (in Rs)?

Solution

According to question :

$$B=A+50000\ \ and\ \ C=B-25000\ .$$

or, $$C=A+25000$$

According to question :

$$A+\left(A+50000\right)+\left(A+25000\right)=300000\ .$$

or, $$3A=225000\ .$$

or, $$A=75000\ .$$

So, $$B=125000\ \ and\ \ C=100000\ .$$

So, A's Profit:B's Profit :C's Profit = 75000 : 125000 : 100000 = 75:125:100= 3:5:4 .

So, C will get = $$14400\times\frac{4}{12}=4800\ Rs\ .$$

B is correct choice.
