Let C subscribes the business = Rs. x
A : B : C
Capital → (x + 12000) : (x + 5000) : x
Note: Profit would be divide in the ratio of their capitals
According to the question,
(x+12000)+(x+5000)+x=470003x+17000=470003x=30000x=10000 A : B : CCapital22000:15000:10000Profit 22 : 15 : 10(22+15+10) units=47001 unit=470047=100Share of C=10 units=10×100=Rs.1000
52. A and B started a business investing amount of Rs. 185000 and Rs. 225000 respectively. If B's share in the profit earned by them is Rs. 9000 then what is the total profit earned by them together ?

Discuss

  7400   9000
Total profit = (7400 + 9000) = Rs. 16400
53. A and B stared a boutique investing amounts of Rs. 35000 and Rs. 56000 respectively. If A's share in the profit earned by them need is Rs. 45000, then what is the total profit earned ?

30% of the total profit is divided in the ratio 50000 : 70000 = 5 : 7 between the two partners.
Suppose x = 30% of the total profit. Then
x×757+5=90x×16=90x=54030%ofthetotalprofit=540Total Profit=540×10030=1800

Alternative
From the 30% of the profit, let first partner gets x and second partner gets (x + 90)
x:(x+90)=50000:70000x:(x+90)=5:77x=5x+4502x=450x=22530%oftheprofit=x+x+90=225+225+90=540Total Profit=540×10030=1800

= 144 : 192 : 336
= 3 : 4 : 7
