Given that A and B together are to do 7/11 of the work

That is

Answer with Explanation:
Ratio of investment 10000 : Y : Z

(assume B as Rs. Y and C as Rs.Z)
ar
Ratio of profit 500 : 300 : 200

5:3:2
er

Ratio of investment = ratio of profit

Consider A and C (  investemnet of A is given and c’s capital we have to find)

e

10000 : Z = 5:2

⇒
ar

10000/Z = 5/2 20000 = 5Z

⇒ Z = 20000/5 = Rs. 4000

C

Hence C’s Capital = Rs. 4000/-
