A, B and C are partners of a company. During a particular year A received one-third of the profit, B received one-fourth of the profit and C received the remaining Rs.5000. How much did A receive?

Answer»

4000



Let ‘x’ be the TOTAL PROFIT in that PARTICULAR year.

x-(x/3 + x/4) = 5000. » x- 7x/12 = 5x/12 ; i.e. 5x /12=5000; :. x= 12000.

:. A’s amount = 12000/3 = 4000.
