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. |

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.
