    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    A's capital be C1= 35000

    B's capital be C2= 25000

    C's capital be C3= 10000

    Profit = 18000

    T1=T2=T3

    Apply formula:

    Solution 2:

    Ratio of their profits;

    Profit of A: Profit of B: Profit of C = C1*T1: C2*T2:C3*T3

    Time is same for A, B and C.

    So, Profit of A: Profit of B: Profit of C = C1: C2: C3

    = 35000:25000:10000

    = 7:5:2

    A's share = (A's ratio/ sum of all three ratios)* total profit
