The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find B's share in the profit based on the investment ratios given for A, B, and C. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ratios**: - A and C invested in the ratio of 2:1. - A and B invested in the ratio of 3:2. 2. **Express Investments in Terms of A**: - Let the investment of A be \(2x\) and C be \(x\) (from A and C's ratio). - Let the investment of A be \(3y\) and B be \(2y\) (from A and B's ratio). 3. **Equate A's Investment**: - From the two expressions for A's investment, we have: \[ 2x = 3y \] - Rearranging gives: \[ y = \frac{2x}{3} \] 4. **Substitute y in B's Investment**: - B's investment can be expressed as: \[ B = 2y = 2 \left(\frac{2x}{3}\right) = \frac{4x}{3} \] 5. **Express C's Investment**: - C's investment remains as: \[ C = x \] 6. **Total Investment**: - Now we can express the total investment in terms of \(x\): \[ A + B + C = 2x + \frac{4x}{3} + x \] - To combine these, we need a common denominator: \[ = \frac{6x}{3} + \frac{4x}{3} + \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{13x}{3} \] 7. **Profit Distribution**: - The total profit is given as Rs. 157300. - The profit is distributed in the same ratio as the investments. The ratio of investments is: \[ A : B : C = 2x : \frac{4x}{3} : x = 6 : 4 : 3 \] - The total parts = \(6 + 4 + 3 = 13\). 8. **Calculate the Value of One Unit**: - Since the total profit is Rs. 157300, we can find the value of one unit: \[ 1 \text{ unit} = \frac{157300}{13} = 12100 \] 9. **Calculate B's Share**: - B's share corresponds to 4 parts: \[ B's \text{ share} = 4 \times 12100 = 48400 \] ### Final Answer: B's share in the profit is Rs. 48400.
