Akbar, Birbal, Chanakya are partners in a business. During a particular year, Akbar received one third of the profit, Birbal received one fourth of the profit and Chanakya received the remaining Rs. 5000. How much amount of money did Akbar receive? Correct Answer <p>Rs. 4000</p>

If Akbar and Birbal get a share of 1/3 and 1/4 in profits, then after taking their LCM, their combined profits will be 7/12 and hence Chanakya’s share will be 5/12.

As given in the question, Chanakya earns rupees 5000 as profit, then the total profit will be

5000 × 12/5 = 12000.

Akbar’s share = 1/3 of the profits = 12000 × (1/3) = Rs. 4000.
