This is a simple partnership (equal time for all three partners), so profit is divided in the ratio of the capitals.

Step 1 — form the capital ratio. 40000:50000:60000=4:5:6(dividing each by 10000).40000 : 50000 : 60000 = 4 : 5 : 6 \quad (\text{dividing each by } 10000).

Step 2 — value of one part. The ratio has 4+5+6=154 + 5 + 6 = 15 parts, so one part=3000015=2000 rupees.\text{one part} = \frac{30000}{15} = 2000 \text{ rupees}.

Step 3 — each share. A=4×2000=8000,B=5×2000=10000,C=6×2000=12000 rupees.A = 4 \times 2000 = 8000, \quad B = 5 \times 2000 = 10000, \quad C = 6 \times 2000 = 12000 \text{ rupees}.

Verification. The shares add to 8000+10000+12000=300008000 + 10000 + 12000 = 30000 rupees (the full profit), and their ratio 8000:10000:12000=4:5:68000 : 10000 : 12000 = 4 : 5 : 6 matches the capital ratio — both confirm the answer.

✓Final answer

A receives 80008000 rupees, B receives 1000010000 rupees, and C receives 1200012000 rupees.
