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. |

So the ratio of investment of A, B, C is based on the status at the end of the year, no matter what's the share in the middle of it. Suppose A invest very little in the first 11 month, and increase a large amount in the 12th month, then he can still gain a big share of the profit.
So someone explain this.

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
Contribution 4 moth
105*4 = 420
A's contribution for 8 month will be
105*8 = 840
50% increase of 840 is 1260
For 12 month = 1260 + 420 = 1680.
Contribution 4 moth
105*4 = 420
A's contribution for 8 month will be
105*8 = 840
50% increase of 840 is 1260
For 12 month = 1260 + 420 = 1680.

I agree @Rangeet. If A's share changes that changes other partners share.
