Solution:

(i) It is given that

Ratio between A, B and C = 7: 5: 4

Consider A share = 7x

B share = 5x

C share = 4x

So the total sum = 7x + 5x + 4x = 16x

Based on the condition

5x – 4x = 500

x = 500

So the total sum = 16x = 16 × 500 = Rs 8000

(ii) 6 months investment of A = Rs 50000

1 month investment of A = 50000 × 6 = Rs 300000

4 months investment of B = Rs 60000

1 month investment of B = 60000 × 4 = Rs 240000

5 months investment of C = Rs 80000

1 month investment of C = 80000 × 5 = Rs 400000

Here the ratio between their investments = 300000: 240000: 400000

= 30: 24: 40

Sum of ratio = 30 = 24 + 40 = 94

Total earnings = Rs 18800

So we get

A share = 30/94 × 18800 = Rs 6000

B share = 24/94 × 18800 = Rs 4800

C share = 40/94 = 18800 = Rs 8000
