A receives 1/15th of the total profit and the remaining is divided between B and C in the ratio of 3 : 4. If the difference between the profit shares of C and A is Rs. 2800. What is B’s share?1). Rs. 20002). Rs. 22003). Rs. 23004). Rs. 2400

Answer»

Let total profit = RS. x

A’s share in profit = x/15

REMAINING profit = 1 - x/15 = 14x/15

⇒ B’s share = 3/7 × 14x/15 = 2x/5

⇒ C’s share = 4/7 × 14x/15 = 8x/15

According to the question,

C - A = 2800

⇒ 8x/15 - x/15 = 2800

⇒ 7x/15 = 2800

⇒ x = 15 × 400 = Rs. 6000

B’s share = 2x/5 = (2 × 6000)/5

= Rs. 2400

∴ B’s share is Rs. 2400
