Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to determine how much each person A, B, and C has contributed to the business.

  1. We know that B contributed Rs.500 more than C. Let's denote the amount that C contributed as x. Therefore, B contributed x + Rs.500.

  2. We also know that A contributed Rs.700 more than B. Therefore, A contributed (x + Rs.500) + Rs.700 = x + Rs.1200.

  3. The total amount contributed by A, B, and C is Rs.4700. Therefore, we can set up the following equation: x (C's contribution) + (x + Rs.500) (B's contribution) + (x + Rs.1200) (A's contribution) = Rs.4700.

Solving this equation gives us x = Rs.1000. Therefore, C contributed Rs.1000, B contributed Rs.1500, and A contributed Rs.2200.

  1. Now, we need to determine how much each person will receive out of a profit of Rs.423. The amount each person receives is proportional to the amount they contributed. Therefore, we can set up the following ratios:

    • A's share: (Rs.2200 / Rs.4700) * Rs.423 = Rs.198
    • B's share: (Rs.1500 / Rs.4700) * Rs.423 = Rs.135
    • C's share: (Rs.1000 / Rs.4700) * Rs.423 = Rs.90

Therefore, out of a profit of Rs.423, A will receive Rs.198, B will receive Rs.135, and C will receive Rs.90. The correct answer is 198, 135, 90.
