The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the outlined process to find B's share in the profit. ### Step 1: Determine the initial ratio of investments The partnership ratio given is: \[ A : B : C = \frac{7}{2} : \frac{4}{3} : \frac{6}{5} \] ### 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 to a common base Now we will convert each fraction to have the common denominator of 30: - For A: \[ \frac{7}{2} = \frac{7 \times 15}{2 \times 15} = \frac{105}{30} \] - For B: \[ \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4 \times 10}{3 \times 10} = \frac{40}{30} \] - For C: \[ \frac{6}{5} = \frac{6 \times 6}{5 \times 6} = \frac{36}{30} \] Thus, the ratio of investments becomes: \[ A : B : C = 105 : 40 : 36 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the effective investment considering time A invests for 12 months, but after 4 months, A increases his share by 50%. Therefore, we need to calculate the effective investment for A: - For the first 4 months, A's investment is \( 105 \). - For the next 8 months, A's investment becomes \( 105 \times 1.5 = 157.5 \). Now, we calculate the total investment for each partner: - A's total investment: \[ 105 \times 4 + 157.5 \times 8 = 420 + 1260 = 1680 \] - B's investment for 12 months: \[ 40 \times 12 = 480 \] - C's investment for 12 months: \[ 36 \times 12 = 432 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the total investment Now we sum up the total investments: \[ \text{Total Investment} = 1680 + 480 + 432 = 2592 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the profit share of B The total profit is given as ₹21,600. To find B's share, we first find the ratio of B's investment to the total investment: - B's share in the total investment: \[ \text{B's Share} = \frac{480}{2592} \] Now, we calculate B's share in the profit: \[ \text{B's Profit} = \text{Total Profit} \times \text{B's Share} = 21600 \times \frac{480}{2592} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{B's Profit} = 21600 \times \frac{480}{2592} = 4800 \] ### Final Answer Thus, B's share in the profit is: \[ \text{B's Share} = ₹4000 \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the outlined process to find B's share in the profit. ### Step 1: Determine the initial ratio of investments The partnership ratio given is: \[ A : B : C = \frac{7}{2} : \frac{4}{3} : \frac{6}{5} \] ### 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. ...
