Correct Answer: Rs 12,000


Solution : Answer = 12,000.

A:B= 3:2; C=$\frac{1}{5}$
let the total profit of the new firm be 1.
C's share= $\frac{1}{5}$

Reamaining share= 1-$\frac{1}{5}$=$\frac{4}{5}$.
A= $\frac{3}{5}$×$\frac{4}{5}$= $\frac{12}{25}$.
B= $\frac{2}{5}$×$\frac{4}{5}$= $\frac{8}{25}$.
C= $\frac{1}{5}$×$\frac{5}{5}$=$\frac{5}{25}$.

Reserve= 25,000.
A's share= 25000×$\frac{12}{25}$= 12,000.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
