A, B and C subscribed Rs. 47,000 for a business. A subscribe Rs. 7000 more than B and B Rs. 5,000 more than C. Out of a total profit of Rs. 9,400, B receives ?

1. Rs. 4400
2. Rs. 3000
3. Rs. 2000
4. Rs.1737.90

Correct Option: B

Suppose C invests Rs. N
Then B's investment = Rs. (N + 5000)
and A's investment = Rs. (N + 12000)
∵ N + (N + 5000) + (N + 12000) = 47000
⇒ N = 10000
Thus A : B : C = 22000 : 15000 : 10000 = 22 : 15 : 10
∴ B's share = Rs. (9400 x 15)/47 = Rs. 3000
