  1. A, B and C started a business by investing $ 40500, $ 45000 and $ 60000 respectively. After 6 months C withdrew $ 15000 while A invested $ 4500 more. In annual profit of $ 56100, the share of C will exceed that of A by
    1. $ 900
    2. $ 1100
    3. $ 3000
    4. $ 3900
Correct Option: D

Given in question , Total profit = $ 56100
∴ Ratio of equivalent capitals of A, B and C for 1 month = { 40500 × 6 + ( 40500 + 4500 ) × 6 } : { 45000 × 12 } : { 60000 × 6 + ( 60000 - 15000 ) × 6 }
Ratio of equivalent capitals of A, B and C for 1 month = (40500 × 6 + 45000 × 6) : (45000 × 12) : (60000 × 6 + 45000 × 6)
Ratio of equivalent capitals of A, B and C for 1 month = (405 + 450) : (450 × 2) : (600 + 450) = 855 : 900 : 1050
Ratio of equivalent capitals of A, B and C for 1 month = 171 : 180 : 210 = 57 : 60 : 70
Sum of the ratios = 57 + 60 + 70 = 187

Required difference =
70 - 57
× 56100
187

Required difference =
13
× 56100 = $ 3900
187
