A B and C entered into a partnership A invested Rs 6500 for 6 months, B invested Rs 8400 for 5 months and C invested Rs 10000 for 3 months. A is a working partner and gets 5% of the total profit for the same. Find the share of each in a total profit of Rs 7400

A.	Rs 840, Rs 660, 900	B.	Rs 1840, Rs 1660, 1900
C.	Rs 2840, Rs 2660, 1900	D.	Rs 2840, Rs 2660, 2900

Answer and Explanation

Answer:Rs 2840, Rs 2660, 1900

Explanation:
A’s salary = (5/100)7400 = Rs 370
Profit to be distributed = Rs (7400 - 370) = Rs 7030
A,B,C get Rs 6500(6x) + 8400(5x) + 10000(3x) respectively
6500(6x) + 8400(5x) + 10000(3x) = 7030 => x = (703/11100)
A gets Rs 370 + 6500(6)(703/11100) = Rs 2840
B gets Rs 8400(5)(703/11100) = Rs 2660
C gets Rs 1000(3)(703/11100) = Rs 1900
