question is asking for the salary of A,B,C but options are only for B and C.

Question:

A, B and C are partners. A receives \(\cfrac{2}{5}\) of the profit and B and C share the remaining profit equally. A’s income is increased by Rs. 220 when the profit rises from 8% to 10%. The capitals invested by B and C are: 

Options:
A) 8000 each
B) 8050 each
C) 8250 each
D) 8500 each
Solution:
Ans: (c)

For A’s share (10% - 8%) = \(\unicode{x20B9} \)220

\(\therefore\) 100% = \(\cfrac{220}{2}\) × 100 = \(\unicode{x20B9} \)11000

\(\therefore\) A’s capital = 11000

For B’s and C’s share : \(\cfrac{2}{5}\) = 11000

\(\therefore \) \(\cfrac{3}{5}=\cfrac{11000}{2}×3\)= \(\unicode{x20B9} \)16500

\(\therefore\) B’s and C’s capitals are \(\unicode{x20B9} \)8250 each
