    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Let C = x.

     

    Then, B = x + 5000 and A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000.

     

    So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000

     

     3x = 36000

     

     x = 12000

     

    A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12.

     

     A's share = Rs[35000x\( \frac { 21 } {50 } \)]= Rs. 14,700.
