A, B, and C form a partnership in the following ratio: : A increases his stake by 50% after four months. If the overall profit is Rs. 21,600 at the end of a year, B's portion of the profit is:
A. Rs. 2100 B. Rs. 2400 C. Rs. 3600 D. Rs. 4000
Explanation: Initial investment ratio = 7 /2: 4/3: 6/5 = 105 : 40 : 36.Let's say the original investments are worth 105x, 40x, and 36x respectively.A : B : C = 105x x 4 + 150/100 x 105x x 8 : A : B : C = 105x x 4 + 150/100 x 105x x 8 : 40" x 12" x 12" x 12" x 12" x 12" x 12 (36x x 12)= 1680x 480x 432x = 35:10:9.As a result, B's share equals Rs. 21600 x 10/54 = Rs. 4000.
