Answer: (1)

Solution: (1)

Profit ratio of A, B and C $=(18000 \times 12):(24000$ $\times 8):(30000 \times 6)$

$=(18 \times 12)$ : $(24 \times 8):(30 \times 6)=18: 16: 15$

Sum of the ratios $=18+16+15$ $=49$

$\therefore$ If the total profit be 49 unit, then

C’s profit = 15 unit = Rs. 1845

1 unit = Rs. 123

$\therefore$ Total profit = 49 unit = 49 $\times$ 123 = Rs. 6027
