Question : A, B and C started a business. A invested $33 \frac{1}{3}$% of the total capital, B invest $33 \frac{1}{3}$% of the remaining capital and C, the remaining. If the total profit, at the end of a year, was INR 20,250, then the profit of C exceeds the profit of B by:
Option 1: INR 5,200
Option 2: INR 4,500
Option 3: INR 6,750
Option 4: INR 2,700
Correct Answer: INR 4,500
Solution : Let total capital be $9x$. Taking $33 \frac{1}{3}$% = $\frac{1}{3}$ Capital of A = $9x \times \frac{1}{3} = 3x$ Capital of B = $(9x - 3x) \times \frac{1}{3} = 2x$ Capital of C = $6x - 2x = 4x$ The profit share of A, B, and C at the end of the year = $3x : 2x : 4x$ Total profit = 20250 ⇒ $3x + 2x + 4x = 20250$ ⇒ $9x = \frac{20250}{9}$ ⇒ $x = 2250$ The profit share of C is more than that of B by = $(4x - 2x) \times 2250 = 4500$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 4,500.
