Answer
Correct Answer: ₹14,700
Explanation
Problem restatementFind each person's capital from the given differences and the total capital, then allocate profit proportional to capital (assuming equal time).
Given data
- Let C = x ⇒ B = x + 5,000 ⇒ A = x + 9,000.
- A + B + C = 50,000.
- Total profit = ₹35,000.
Step-by-step calculation x + (x + 5,000) + (x + 9,000) = 50,000 3x + 14,000 = 50,000 ⇒ x = 12,000 C = 12,000, B = 17,000, A = 21,000 A's share = (21,000/50,000) × 35,000 = ₹14,700
VerificationShares sum correctly if computed similarly for B and C.
Final Answer₹14,700
