    A) Rs. 8400

    B) Rs. 11900

    C) Rs. 13600

    D) Rs. 14700

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Let the investments of C, B and A be Rs. x, Rs. \[(x+5000)\] and Rs. \[(x+9000),\] respectively. Then, \[x+(x+\text{ }5000)+(x+\text{ }9000)\] = 50000 \[\Rightarrow \] \[3x=36000\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=12000\] \[\therefore \] C = Rs. 12000, B = Rs. 17000 and A = Rs. 21000. A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12 A's share \[=\left( 35000\times \frac{21}{50} \right)=\text{Rs}.\,\,14700\]
