Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Ratio of initial investments = |  |
7 | : | 4 | : | 6 |  |
= 105 : 40 : 36. |
| 2 | 3 | 5 |

 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. |

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.

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.

I can't find sufficent explanation of this ans please exsplain again
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. q

There is something wrong in answer if A increase his share it will also change the ratio of share others mean it would not be 40x:36x for B and C.
Is anybody here clear my doubt?
