: : . 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. |
| 54 |

A=(105*4months)+((105*8months)+50%(105*8months))
=420+(420+840)
=1680
B=40*12months
=480
C=36*12months
=432
now u devide the above values by 48(all 3 values r devided without any fraction value)then u will get 35:10:9....
then add all 3 shares 35+10+9=54
for B share=21600*(B share/total share)
=21600*(10/54)
=4000rs
=420+(420+840)
=1680
B=40*12months
=480
C=36*12months
=432
now u devide the above values by 48(all 3 values r devided without any fraction value)then u will get 35:10:9....
then add all 3 shares 35+10+9=54
for B share=21600*(B share/total share)
=21600*(10/54)
=4000rs

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.

A : B : C = 105x x 4 + 150 x 105x x 8 : (40x x 12) : (36x x 12).

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.

From where did that 150/100 arise?
