: : . 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. |

An easy way;
A = 7/2 * 4+ 7/2 * 3/2*8 = 14 + 42 = 56.
B = 4/3*12 = 16.
C = 6/5*12 = 14.4,
Total = 56 + 16 + 14.4 = 86.4
So, 86.4 = 21600,
Then B's Share 16 = 4000 (Ans)
A = 7/2 * 4+ 7/2 * 3/2*8 = 14 + 42 = 56.
B = 4/3*12 = 16.
C = 6/5*12 = 14.4,
Total = 56 + 16 + 14.4 = 86.4
So, 86.4 = 21600,
Then B's Share 16 = 4000 (Ans)

They said that the share of A increases by 50 % so, the new total share of A be (100+50) =150, so 150%=150/100. And the 8 be the months as after 4 months so 4+4=8 months.

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.

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.

105x*8 ?
Here we need to find A, (1year=12months) so after 4 months means remaining 8 months.
& Then multiple with 2 b/c in this 8 months 50% more.

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.

Can you tell me for what reason we use "x" when dealing with this problem?
What does it state for? And how do we get rid of it in the last operation?

A : B : C = 105x x 4 + 150 x 105x x 8: (40x x 12) : (36x x 12)
= 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9.
Anyone explain this step i didn't understand.

As per question A increase his share 50%, it means A's contribution.
1 year = 12 month.
4 month 105*4 = 420.
Remaining 8 month is 105*8 = 840.
1 year = 12 month.
4 month 105*4 = 420.
Remaining 8 month is 105*8 = 840.

Hey clear my doubt why a is multiply with 8 and why why we take 50% of 8 yet here is only ask about the 50% of 4 month. Then why on 8 ?
