A,B and C started a business with Rs.15000, Rs.25000 and Rs.35000 respectively. A was paid 10% of the total profit as a salary and the balance was divided in the ration of investment. If A's share is Rs.4,200, then C's share is:

Read Solution (Total 1)

6300 Rs.
Share of A:B:C as Rs. 15000:25000:35000=3:5:7
If total profit=x & A got Rs. 4200 as total of 10% of x & his share in remaining amount
0.1x+(x-0.1x)3/15=4200 or x=15000
A's Share in remaining Amount=(15000-1500)*3/15=2700
B's Share=(15000-1500)*5/15=4500
C's Share=(15000-1500)*7/15=6300
