1. Three partners A , B , C start a business . B's Capital is four times C's capital and twice A's capital is equal to thrice B's capital . If the total profit is Rs 16500 at the end of a year ,Find out B's share in it.

A. Rs. 4000

B. Rs. 5000

C. Rs. 6000

D. Rs. 7000

Solution:

Suppose C's capital = x then
B's capital = 4x (Since B's Capital is four times C's capital)
A's capital = 6x ( Since twice A's capital is equal to thrice B's capital)
A : B : C =6x : 4x : x
= 6 : 4 : 1
B's share =

16500 \times \frac{4}{11}

= 1500 × 4 = 6000.
