A, B and C are partners in a business. Their capitals are respectively, Rs.5000, Rs.6000 and Rs.4000. A gets 30% of the total profit for managing the business. The remaining profit is divided among three in the ratio of their capitals. In the end of the year, the profit of A is Rs.200 more than the sum of the profits of B and C. Find the total profit.

A. Rs.4500
B. Rs.5200
C. Rs.1800
D. Rs.3000

Explanation:

A:B:C = 5:6:4

Let the total profit = 100 – 30 = 70

5/15 * 70 = 70/3

A share = 70/3 + 30 = 160/3

B + C share = 100 – 160/3 = 140/3

A-(B+C) = 160/3 – 140/3 = 20/3

20/3 —- 200

100 —- ? => 3000

Correct Answer: Rs.3000 ✔
