: : . 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. |

Its very easy like for A for 4 month:
= 4*105 = 420.
For 8 month.
8*105 = 840.
Now 50% increase.
150/100*840 = 1260.
Total A become 1260+420 = 1680.
= 4*105 = 420.
For 8 month.
8*105 = 840.
Now 50% increase.
150/100*840 = 1260.
Total A become 1260+420 = 1680.

7/2 :4/3 :6/5
Take L.C.M FOR 2,3,5. ANS:30
A: 7/2 * 15/15 =105/30
B: 4/3 * 10/10 =40/30
C: 6/5 * 6/6 =36/30
Hence it is 105:40:36
I hope you got the answer.

@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.

Can anyone explain me why we calculate the share for 1 year?
Here it gave for only 4 months. Then A's share will be increase by 50%.
I didn't understand.

Can anyone explain why we multiply a's share with 150/100?
105x*4+ (150/100) *105x*8.
105x*4+ (150/100) *105x*8.
