: : . 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 |

105:40:36 how ?
Ans: Take lcm for 2,3,5 Hhich is in denomonator
LCM = 30
Then 30*(7/2)=105; like this we can get for remaining.

Why multiped and divided 15, 10, 6?
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.
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.

First divide 1680:480:432
by 48,we wil get 35:10:9
then add al of them we wil get 54
then divide [21600*10 /54]=ans

A : B : C = 105x x 4 + 150/100 x 105x x 8 : (40x x 12) : (36x x 12)
From where this 150/100 is coming?

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

Question says A increases his profit by 50%, not his investment by 50%.
Please explain to me.
