Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Let investment of P = Rs. x Then, investment of N = Rs. $ (x+5000) $ and investment of M $ =(x+5000)+4000 $ $ =Rs.,(x+9000) $ According to the question, $ x+(x+5000)+(x+9000)=50000 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 3x+14000=50000 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 3x=50000-14000=36000 $
$ \therefore $ $ x=\frac{36000}{3}=12000 $ Clearly, investment of P = Rs. 12000 Investment of N $ =(x+5000) $ $ =12000+5000=Rs.17000 $ Investment of M $ =(x+9000) $ $ =12000+9000=Rs.21000 $ M’s share: N’s share: P’s share $ =21000:17000:12000 $ $ =21:17:12 $ Hence, M’s share $ =\frac{21}{21+17+12}\times 70000 $ $ =\frac{21}{50}\times 70000=Rs\text{.}29400 $
