C joins the business with a capital of ? 21000. After a year, they earned a profit of ? 13200. By what value does the share of B exceeds the share of C?


  • Options
  • A. ? 1600
  • B. ? 1800
  • C. ? 2100
  • D. ? 2300

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 1800 

    Explanation

    A's share : B's share : C's share
    = [16000 x 3 + (16000 - 5000) x 9] : [12000 x 3 + (12000 + 5000) x 9] : (21000 x 6)
    = (16 x 3 + 11 x 9) : (12 x 3 + 17 x 9) : (21 x 6)
    = 147 : 189 : 126
    = 7 : 9 : 6

    Hence, B's share exceeds C's share by = {13200/(7 + 9 + 6)} x (9 - 6)
    = (13200 x 3)/22
    = ? 1800
