The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the investments of X, Y, and Z based on the information provided and then calculate Z's share of the profit. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let: - Y's investment = ₹Y - X's investment = Y + ₹3120 (since X invested ₹3120 more than Y) - Z's investment = Y - ₹1720 (since Z invested ₹1720 less than Y) ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation According to the problem, the total investment of X, Y, and Z is ₹14000. Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ X + Y + Z = 14000 \] Substituting the values of X and Z in terms of Y, we get: \[ (Y + 3120) + Y + (Y - 1720) = 14000 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the Equation Combine like terms: \[ Y + 3120 + Y + Y - 1720 = 14000 \] This simplifies to: \[ 3Y + 1400 = 14000 \] ### Step 4: Solve for Y Now, isolate Y: \[ 3Y = 14000 - 1400 \] \[ 3Y = 12600 \] \[ Y = \frac{12600}{3} = 4200 \] ### Step 5: Calculate X and Z's Investments Now that we have Y's investment, we can find X and Z's investments: - X's investment: \[ X = Y + 3120 = 4200 + 3120 = 7320 \] - Z's investment: \[ Z = Y - 1720 = 4200 - 1720 = 2480 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Profit Share The total profit is ₹35000. The profit share is distributed in the same ratio as their investments. The total investment is: \[ X + Y + Z = 7320 + 4200 + 2480 = 14000 \] The ratio of their investments is: - X : Y : Z = 7320 : 4200 : 2480 To find Z's share of the profit, we first calculate the total parts of the ratio: \[ Total\ Parts = 7320 + 4200 + 2480 = 14000 \] Now, Z's share of the profit can be calculated as: \[ Z's\ Share = \left(\frac{Z's\ Investment}{Total\ Investment}\right) \times Total\ Profit \] \[ Z's\ Share = \left(\frac{2480}{14000}\right) \times 35000 \] \[ Z's\ Share = \frac{2480 \times 35000}{14000} = 6200 \] ### Final Answer Thus, Z's share of the profit is **₹6200**. ---
