Question Statement:

Three partners X, Y, and Z subscribed Rs 50,000 for a business. X subscribed Rs 4,000 more than Y, and Y subscribed Rs 5,000 more than Z. Out of a total profit of Rs 35,000, X's share in rupees is:

Answer Key:

14700

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Let $Z = c$. $Y = c + 5000$, $X = c + 9000$. $3c + 14000 = 50000 \implies 3c = 36000 \implies c = 12000$. $Z = 12000, Y = 17000, X = 21000$. Ratio $= 21 : 17 : 12$. X's share $= (21/50) \times 35000 = 21 \times 700 = 14700$ rupees.
