Partnership Q27

27.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] Rs. 4000

[C] Rs. 6000

[B] Rs. 5000

[D] Rs. 9000

Answer : [A]
Explanation :

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

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

Then, 5x = 10000   x = 2000.

C's capital = 2x = Rs. 4000.
