A, B and C started a business by investing Rs. 1,20,000, Rs. 1,35,000 and Rs. 1,50,000 respectively. Find the share of each, out of an annual profit of Rs. 56,700.

Answer:

Explanation:

Ratio of shares of $A$, $B$ and $C$ = Ratio of their investments

$=120000:135000:150000$ $=8:9:10$.

A's share = Rs. $\left(56700\times\frac{8}{27}\right)$ = Rs. 16800.

B's share = Rs. $\left( 56700\times\frac{9}{27}\right)$ = Rs. 18900.

C's share = Rs. $\left(56700\times\frac{10}{27}\right)$ = Rs. 21000.
