Three partners A, B, C start a business. Twice A’s capital is equal to thrice B’s capital and B’s capital is four times C’s capital. Out of a total profit of Rs. 16,500 at the end of the year, B’ share is:
Explanation:
Let C = a. Then, B = 4a
and 2A = 3 x 4a = 12a
or A = 6a.
=> A : B : C = 6a : 4a : a = 6 : 4 : 1.
So, B’s capital = Rs. [16500 x 4/11]
= Rs. 6000
