Three persons stared a placement business with a capital of Rs. 3000. B invests Rs. 600 less than A and C invests Rs. 300 less than B. What is B’s share in a profit of Rs. 886 ?

a) Rs. 443
b) Rs. 354.40
c) Rs. 265.80
d) Rs. 177.20

Answer: c
Explanation: Let A’s capital = Rs. x
B’s capital = Rs. (x – 600)
C’s capital = Rs. (x – 600) – 300 = Rs. (x – 900)
∴ x + (x – 600) + (x – 900) = 3000
3x = 4500
x = 1500
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{So, A}}:{\text{B}}:{\text{C}} = 1500:900:600 \cr & = 5:3:2 \cr & {\text{B’s share}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {886 \times \frac{3}{{10}}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 265}}{\text{.80}} \cr} $$
