  • Question
  • A. B and C together start a business. B invests of 1/6 of the total capital while investments of A and C are equal. If the annual profit on this investment is ? 33600, find the difference between the profits of B and C.


  • Options
  • A. ? 8400
  • B. ? 7200
  • C. ? 6000
  • D. ? 9600

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 8400 

    Explanation

    Given, Investment of B = 1/6 of total capital
    ? Investments of A and C each = 1/2(1 - 1/6) of total capital
    = (1/2) x (5/6) of total capital
    = (5/12) of total capital

    Now. A's share : B's share : C's share = (5/12) : (1/6) : (5/12) = 5 : 2 : 5
    Let A's share = 5N
    B's share = 2N
    C's share = 5N

    According to the question.
    5N + 2N + 5N = 33600
    ? 12N = 33600
    ? N = 33600/12 = 2800
    ? Difference in the profits of B and C
    = 5N - 2N = 3N = 3 x 2800 = ? 8400
