Show answer and solution
Answer: 27000
Profit is shared in the ratio of capital × time.
A: 40,000 × 12 = 4,80,000
B: 60,000 × 8 = 4,80,000
C: 90,000 × 6 = 5,40,000
Ratio A : B : C = 480 : 480 : 540 = 8 : 8 : 9 (total 25).
C's share = 9/25 × 75,000 = ₹27,000.
A: 40,000 × 12 = 4,80,000
B: 60,000 × 8 = 4,80,000
C: 90,000 × 6 = 5,40,000
Ratio A : B : C = 480 : 480 : 540 = 8 : 8 : 9 (total 25).
C's share = 9/25 × 75,000 = ₹27,000.
