P, Q, R subscribe Rs. 50,000 for a business. P subscribes Rs. 4000 more than Q and Q Rs. 5000 more than R. Out of a total profit of Rs. 25,000, what will be Ps share?
Rs. 8400
Rs. 10,500
Rs. 13,600
Rs. 14,700
Explanation:
Let amount subscribed for R be x.
Therefore, Q = x + 5000 and P = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000
So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000
=> 3x = 36000
=> x = 12000
=> P: Q: R = 21000: 17000: 12000 = 21: 17: 12
Hence, P`s share = 25000 X (21/50) = Rs. 10,500.
