: : . 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. |

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.

How you got 105:40:36?

Total profit calculated for 1 year.
So 1 year = 12 month.
Partnership ratio 7/2:4/3:6/5, we need to expand this ratio.
i.e, 7/2:4/3:6/5.
In this we need to take 30 = 2*3*5 common factor based on which we need expand.
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.
Hence expand ratio = 105:40:36.
(105*4) + (105*150/100) *8) : (40*12) : (36*12).
So 1 year = 12 month.

Hence expand ratio = 105:40:36.
(105*4) + (105*150/100) *8) : (40*12) : (36*12).

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

Is there not any shortcut of such type of questions?

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.

How 150/100 came?
Can anyone explain me briefly?

I think the answer is wrong.
If A increases his share, B and C share would also get affected.
If A increases his share, B and C share would also get affected.

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?
