    business, which are in A.P. The amount invested by B is Rs. 1000 more than that of A. C invested the highest amount. Find the total profit received if all of them invested their sum for equal duration and A invested Rs. 6000 for 4 months and received Rs. 1000 as profit.
    A Rs. 3000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 3200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 3300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 3500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of profits received by A, B and C= (6000 × 4):(7000 × 4):(8000 × 4) = 6:7:8 Therefore, total profit received = 1000 × (6 + 7 + 8)/6 = Rs. 3500
