The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down: ### Step 1: Understand the Ratios The shares of Amitabh, Brijesh, and Kamlesh are given in the ratio of \( \frac{7}{2} : \frac{4}{3} : \frac{6}{5} \). ### Step 2: Find a Common Denominator To simplify the ratios, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The denominators are 2, 3, and 5. The least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers is 30. ### Step 3: Convert the Ratios Now, we multiply each part of the ratio by 30 to eliminate the fractions: - Amitabh's share: \( \frac{7}{2} \times 30 = 105 \) - Brijesh's share: \( \frac{4}{3} \times 30 = 40 \) - Kamlesh's share: \( \frac{6}{5} \times 30 = 36 \) So, the new ratio of their shares is \( 105 : 40 : 36 \). ### Step 4: Calculate the Time Factor Amitabh increases his share by 50% after 4 months. We need to calculate the effective capital contribution for each partner over the year (12 months): - Amitabh contributes \( 105 \) for 4 months and \( 105 \times 1.5 = 157.5 \) for the remaining 8 months. - Brijesh contributes \( 40 \) for 12 months. - Kamlesh contributes \( 36 \) for 12 months. ### Step 5: Calculate Effective Contributions Now, we calculate the effective contributions: - Amitabh: - For the first 4 months: \( 105 \times 4 = 420 \) - For the next 8 months: \( 157.5 \times 8 = 1260 \) - Total for Amitabh: \( 420 + 1260 = 1680 \) - Brijesh: - Total for Brijesh: \( 40 \times 12 = 480 \) - Kamlesh: - Total for Kamlesh: \( 36 \times 12 = 432 \) ### Step 6: Find the Total Contribution Now, we sum up all the contributions: - Total contribution = \( 1680 + 480 + 432 = 2592 \) ### Step 7: Find the Ratio of Contributions Now we can find the ratio of their contributions: - Amitabh: \( 1680 \) - Brijesh: \( 480 \) - Kamlesh: \( 432 \) The ratio of their contributions is: - \( 1680 : 480 : 432 \) ### Step 8: Simplify the Ratio To simplify, we can divide each term by the greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 1680, 480, and 432 is 48. - Amitabh: \( \frac{1680}{48} = 35 \) - Brijesh: \( \frac{480}{48} = 10 \) - Kamlesh: \( \frac{432}{48} = 9 \) So the simplified ratio is \( 35 : 10 : 9 \). ### Step 9: Calculate Brijesh's Share of Profit The total profit is given as \( 21600 \). - The total parts in the ratio = \( 35 + 10 + 9 = 54 \). - Brijesh's share = \( \frac{10}{54} \times 21600 \). ### Step 10: Calculate the Final Amount Calculating Brijesh's share: \[ \text{Brijesh's share} = \frac{10}{54} \times 21600 = \frac{216000}{54} = 4000 \] ### Conclusion Brijesh's share in the profit is **4000**. ---
