Correct Answer: INR 13,800
Solution : Given: A, B, and C together invest INR 53,000 in a business. A invests INR 5,000 more than B and B invests INR 6,000 more than C. The investment ratio and the profit ratio are directly proportionate in the absence of time. Let the C's investment be INR $x$. The investment of B = $x$ + 6000. The investment of A = $x$ + 6000 + 5000. According to the question, $x+x+6000+x+6000+5000=53000$ ⇒ $3x+17000=53000$ ⇒ $3x=53000–17000$ ⇒ $3x=36000$ ⇒ $x=$ INR 12,000 The investment of A = 12000 + 6000 + 5000 = INR 23,000. The investment of B = 12000 + 6000 = INR 18,000. The investment of C = INR 12,000. The ratio of the investment of A, B, and C = 23000: 18000: 12000 = 23 : 18 : 12. The share of A = = $\frac{23}{23+18+12}\times 31800$. = $\frac{23}{53}\times 31800=23\times 600=$ INR 13,800 Hence, the correct answer is INR 13,800.
