• 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:
  
  [A]. Rs. 2100 [B]. Rs. 2400
  [C]. Rs. 3600 [D]. 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.
