Q.A, B, and C made a joint business profit of ₹1,500. If A's capital : B's capital = 2 : 3 and B's capital : C's capital = 2 : 5, then C's share of the profit is... (a) ₹ 900 (b) ₹ 1000 (c) ₹ 1100 (d) ₹ 1200
Answer: A
A : B = 2 : 3 = 4 : 6 B : C = 2 : 5 = 6 : 15 ∴ A : B : C = 4 : 6 : 15 = \( \frac{4}{25} : \frac{6}{25} : \frac{15}{25} \) [because 4 + 6 + 15 = 25] ∴ C’s share of the profit = ₹1500 × \( \frac{15}{25} \) = ₹900
