: : . After 4 months, A increases his share 50%. If the total profit at the end of one year be Rs. 21,600, then B's share in the profit is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Ratio of initial investments = |  |
7 | : | 4 | : | 6 |  |
= 105 : 40 : 36. |
| 2 | 3 | 5 |
Let the initial investments be 105x, 40x and 36x.
 A : B : C = |
|
105x x 4 + | 150 | x 105x x 8 | |
: (40x x 12) : (36x x 12) |
| 100 |
= 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9.
| Hence, B's share = Rs. | |
21600 x | 10 | |
= Rs. 4000. |

@All.
In partnership, profits are shared at the end of the year but not at point of changes in ratios in case profits are to be distributed periodically the profits should be ascertained for same periods b cause profits Maybe high in first 4 months and finally adjusted to 21600 another issue all partners ratios together should be equal to 1 again the extra 50% share of A shall be contributed by B and C so as to equal to 1.

I agree @Rangeet. If A's share changes that changes other partners share.

Initially, A has Rs.105x investment for 4 months. After 4 months, he increased 50 percent of his Rs.105x(share) into a partnership for remaining months.So;
4 months =4*105x.
months (12-4) = 8 months = 8(105x+(50/100) * 105x).
(4*105x+8(105x+(50/100)*105x) : 12*40 : 12*36) = 1680:4800:432 = 35:10:9(when divided by 48).
Hence, B's share = Rs. 21600 * 10/(sum of 35,10,9) = Rs. 4000.
4 months =4*105x.
months (12-4) = 8 months = 8(105x+(50/100) * 105x).
(4*105x+8(105x+(50/100)*105x) : 12*40 : 12*36) = 1680:4800:432 = 35:10:9(when divided by 48).
Hence, B's share = Rs. 21600 * 10/(sum of 35,10,9) = Rs. 4000.

Why multiped and divided 15, 10, 6?
A = 7/2 = 15*7/15*2 = 105/30.
B = 4/3 = 10*4/10*3 = 40/30.
C = 6/5 = 6*6/5*6 = 36/30.
A = 7/2 = 15*7/15*2 = 105/30.
B = 4/3 = 10*4/10*3 = 40/30.
C = 6/5 = 6*6/5*6 = 36/30.
