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. |

@Shashi.
105x*4+ (150/100) *105x*8.
Step 1: first 4 months.
Step 2: + 50% increase(150/100)*8months (remaining 8months adding) total one year.
Multiply:
105x*4 = 420x.
(150/100)*105x*8 = 1.5* 840x= 1260x.
420x+120x = 1680x.
105x*4+ (150/100) *105x*8.
Step 1: first 4 months.
Step 2: + 50% increase(150/100)*8months (remaining 8months adding) total one year.
Multiply:
105x*4 = 420x.
(150/100)*105x*8 = 1.5* 840x= 1260x.
420x+120x = 1680x.

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?

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.

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.
