A, B and C share the profit in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 7. If the average gain is Rs. 8000, then B's share is ?

Solution(By Examveda Team)

	A	:	B	:	C
Ratio of Profit →	2	:	3	:	7

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Average gain}} = \frac{{2 + 3 + 7}}{3} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 4{\text{ units}} \cr & {\text{According to the question,}} \cr & {\text{4 units}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 8000}} \cr & {\text{1 unit}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 2000}} \cr & {\text{3 units}} = 3 \times 2000 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 6000}} \cr & \therefore {\text{Share of B}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 6000}} \cr} $$
