Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let R's subscription be Rs. x. Then, Q's subscription is Rs. x + 5000, and P's subscription is Rs. x + 9000. The total subscription is x + (x + 5000) + (x + 9000) = 3x + 14000 = 50000. Solving for x gives x = 12000. Therefore, P's subscription is 21000. P's share of the profit is (21000/50000) * 25000 = Rs. 10,500.
