In a business, A and C invested amounts in the ratio 2 : 1 , whereas the ratio between amounts invested by A and B was 3 : 2 . If Rs. 157300 was their profit, how much amount did B receive?

a) Rs. 48400
b) Rs. 48600
c) Rs. 48000
d) Rs. 48200

Answer: a
Explanation:
Assume that investment of C = x
Then, investment of A = 2x
Investment of B = $$\frac{{2{\text{A}}}}{3}$$ = $$\frac{{4{\text{x}}}}{3}$$ (since ratio of investment of A : B = 2 : 3 i.e B = $$\frac{{2{\text{A}}}}{3}$$)
A : B : C
= 2x : $$\frac{{4{\text{x}}}}{3}$$ : x
= 2 : $$\frac{4}{3}$$ : 1
= 6 : 4 : 3
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{B’s Share}} \cr & = 157300 \times \frac{4}{{6 + 4 + 3}} \cr & = 157300 \times \frac{4}{{13}} \cr & = 12100 \times 4 \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 48400}} \cr} $$
