A, B and C enter into a partnership with a capital in which A's contribution is Rs. 10,000. If out of a total profit of Rs. 1000, A gets Rs. 500 and B gets Rs. 300, then C's capital is :

A 4000

B 5000

C 6000

D 7000

Solution

Correct Answer: Option A

A : B : C = 500 : 300 : 200 = 5 : 3 : 2.

Let their capitals be 5x, 3x and 2x respectively.

Then, 5x = 10000  

=>  x = 2000.

C's capital = 2x = Rs. 4000.
