  • Question
  • A, B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio 7⁄2 : 4⁄3 : 6⁄5. 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:


  • Options
  • A. Rs. 2100
  • B. Rs. 2400
  • C. Rs. 3600
  • D. Rs. 4000

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 4000 

    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.
