Three partners A , B , C start a business . B's Capital is four times C's capital and twice A's capital is equal to thrice B's capital . If the total profit is Rs 16500 at the end of a year ,Find out B's share in it.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
Suppose C's capital = x then
B's capital = 4x (Since B's Capital is four times C's capital)
A's capital = 6x ( Since twice A's capital is equal to thrice B's capital)
A : B : C =6x : 4x : x
= 6 : 4 : 1
B's share = $$16500 \times \frac{4}{{11}}$$ = 1500 × 4 = 6000.

Let C=x
B=4x
A=3B=3*(4x)=12x
now,
12x+4x+x=16500
17x=16500
x=970.588
B=4x= 4*970.588=3882.352
A:B=3:2
B=4C
B:C=4:1
A:B:C=6:4:1
B's share is 16500*(4/11)=6000
The answer provided by exam Veda will be correct only if we eliminate that "twice" word from the second line.
As we know B capital=4x
So as per question statement
2A=3B
2A=3(4x)
So A=12x/2
A=6x
B's capital = 4x (Since B's Capital is four times C's capital)
A's capital = 12x ( Since twice A's capital is equal to thrice B's capital)
A:B:C = 12x : 4x : x
= 12 : 4 : 1
B's share = 16500 * (4/17) = 1500*4 = 3882.35
It's correct right?
So, A's capital = 4X(3) = 12X ( Since twice A's capital is equal to thrice B's capital)
isn't it? Reply?
A=4x*3=12x?????
isnt it??
