3.
A, B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio : : . 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:
Rs. 2100
Rs. 2400
Rs. 3600
Rs. 4000
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

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

Find the minimum number that will be divide 2,3 and 5 simultaneously.

That is known as LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR.It will be 30.

Then 7*15/30,4*10/30,6*6/30. BUT 15,10,6 are by dividing(the given denominator 2,3,5 with LCM=30).

Then we can avoid the common denominator 30,and Finally we can get 105=15*7, 40= 4*10, and 36= 6*6.

Thank you Rocky.

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.

7/2 :4/3 :6/5

Take L.C.M FOR 2,3,5. ANS:30

A: 7/2 * 15/15 =105/30

B: 4/3 * 10/10 =40/30

C: 6/5 * 6/6 =36/30

Hence it is 105:40:36

I hope you got the answer.

7 : 4 : 6 = 105 : 40 : 36.
2 3 5
Plz Explain me

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.
