Correct Answer: 4800
Solution : Let a be the investment of A. Investment of B = a + 50000 Investment of C = (a + 50000) – 25000 Total investment = a + (a + 50000) + [(a + 50000) – 25000] ⇒ 300000 = 3a + 75000 ⇒ Investment of A = $\frac{300000-75000}{3}$ = $\frac{225000}{3}$ = Rs. 75000 ⇒ Investment of B = 75000 + 50000 = Rs. 125000 ⇒ Investment of C = 125000 – 25000 = Rs. 100000 Ratio of investment = 75000 : 125000 : 100000 = 3 : 5 : 4 ⇒ Ratio of profit = 3 : 5 : 4 Since total profit = Rs.14400, So, the profit received by C = $\frac{4}{3+5+4}$ × 14400 = $\frac{4}{12}$ × 14400 = Rs. 4800 Hence, the correct answer is 4800.
