The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how much more C will get than B from a profit of Rs 6000 distributed in the ratio of 3:4:5, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Ratio The ratio of the profits for A, B, and C is given as 3:4:5. This means: - A's share = 3 parts - B's share = 4 parts - C's share = 5 parts ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Parts in the Ratio To find the total number of parts in the ratio, we add the parts together: \[ 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 \text{ parts} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Value of Each Part Now, we need to find the value of one part. We do this by dividing the total profit by the total number of parts: \[ \text{Value of one part} = \frac{6000}{12} = 500 \] ### Step 4: Calculate B's Share B's share corresponds to 4 parts, so we multiply the value of one part by the number of parts for B: \[ \text{B's share} = 4 \times 500 = 2000 \] ### Step 5: Calculate C's Share C's share corresponds to 5 parts, so we multiply the value of one part by the number of parts for C: \[ \text{C's share} = 5 \times 500 = 2500 \] ### Step 6: Find the Difference Between C's and B's Share To find out how much more C gets than B, we subtract B's share from C's share: \[ \text{Difference} = C's \text{ share} - B's \text{ share} = 2500 - 2000 = 500 \] ### Final Answer C will get Rs 500 more than B. ---
