A, B, C subscribe Rs. 50,000 for a business. A subscribes Rs. 4000 more than B and B Rs. 5000 more than C. Out of a total profit of Rs. 35,000, A receives:

Rs. 8400
Rs. 11,900
Rs. 13,600
Rs. 14,700
Explanation:

Let C = $ x $.

Then, B = $ x $ + 5000 and A = $ x $ + 5000 + 4000 = $ x $ + 9000.

So, $ x $ + $ x $ + 5000 + $ x $ + 9000 = 50000

$\Rightarrow$ 3$ x $ = 36000

$\Rightarrow x $ = 12000

A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12.

$\therefore$ As share = Rs.$ \left(35000 \times\dfrac{21}{50} \right) $= Rs. 14,700.
