A, B, C subscribe Rs. 50,000 for a business. A subscribes Rs. 4000 more than B and B Rs. 5000 more than C. Out of a total profit of Rs. 35,000, A receives

Answer: Option D

Let C = x.
Then, B = x + 5000 and A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000
So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000
⇒ 3x = 36000
⇒ x = 12000
A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12
$$\begin{array}{rl}& \text{So A’s Share}\\ & =\text{Rs}\text{. 3}5000\times \frac{21}{50}\\ & =\text{Rs}\text{. 14700}\end{array}$$
