Question 96

A, B, C started a business by investing Rs.6500, Rs.8400 and 10,000 respectively. As working partner A takes 5% of the profit as his salary. A withdraws his capital after 6 months, B after 5 months and C after 3 months from the begining. If the profit earned was Rs.7400, then the total amount received by A is (in Rs.)

Solution

A,B,C will take the profit in following ratio

$$=6500×6:8400×5:10000×3$$

$$=39000:42000:30000$$

$$=39:42:30$$

$$=13:14:10.$$

Total profit$$=7400.$$

5% of 7400$$=370.$$

rest of profit$$=7400-370=7030.$$

A will get$$=7030×(13/37)=2470.$$ of rest of the profit.

So,Total profit part of A$$=2470+370.$$

$$=2840.$$

So,C is correct choice.
