1. A, B and C share the profit in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 7. If the average gain is Rs. 8000, then B's share is ?

A. Rs. 2000

B. Rs. 1000

C. Rs. 1500

D. Rs. 6000

Solution:

	A	:	B	:	C
Ratio of Profit →	2	:	3	:	7

\begin{aligned} Average gain = \frac{2 + 3 + 7}{3} \\ = 4 units \\ According to the question, \\ 4 units = Rs . 8000 \\ 1 unit = Rs . 2000 \\ 3 units = 3 \times 2000 \\ = Rs . 6000 \\ ∴ Share of B = Rs . 6000 \end{aligned}
