The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the total earnings of A, B, and C based on their investments and returns. ### Step 1: Define the investments Let the investments of A, B, and C be represented as: - A's investment = 3x - B's investment = 4x - C's investment = 5x ### Step 2: Define the returns Let the returns on their investments be represented as: - A's return = 6y - B's return = 5y - C's return = 4y ### Step 3: Set up the equation based on the information given According to the problem, B earns ₹250 more than A. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 5y = 6y + 250 \] ### Step 4: Solve the equation Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ 5y - 6y = 250 \] \[ -y = 250 \] \[ y = -250 \] However, since y cannot be negative in this context, we need to reconsider our returns. The correct equation should be: \[ 6y - 5y = 250 \] This simplifies to: \[ y = 250 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the returns for A, B, and C Now that we have y, we can find the returns for A, B, and C: - A's return = 6y = 6 * 250 = ₹1500 - B's return = 5y = 5 * 250 = ₹1250 - C's return = 4y = 4 * 250 = ₹1000 ### Step 6: Calculate the total earnings Now we can find the total earnings: \[ \text{Total earnings} = A's return + B's return + C's return \] \[ = 1500 + 1250 + 1000 = ₹3750 \] ### Final Answer The total earnings of A, B, and C is ₹3750. ---
