A, B, and C started a business. A contributed Rs. 12,000, B contributed Rs. 15,000, and C contributed Rs. 18,000. After 6 months, B withdrew Rs. 5,000, while C added Rs. 10,000. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs. 54,000, how much did C receive?

  1. ₹26,147

  2. ₹24,901

  3. ₹14,000

  4. ₹17,890

Answer: A

Solution

Profit is divided according to capital × time. A = 12000 × 12 = 144000. B = 15000 × 6 + 10000 × 6 = 150000. C = 18000 × 6 + 28000 × 6 = 276000. C's share = \(54000\times\frac{276}{570}\) = approximately ₹26,147.37.
