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 Tk. 21,600, then B's share in the profit is:

A    Tk. 2100

B    Tk. 2400

C    Tk. 3600

D    Tk. 4000

Solution

Correct Answer: Option D

 

Ratio of initial investments =  (7/2 : 4/3 : 6/5) = 105 : 40 : 36

Let the initial investments be 105x, 40x and 36x.

So, A : B : C = (105x x 4 +150/100 x 105x x 8) : (40x x 12) : (36x x 12)

= 1680x : 480x : 432x

= 35 : 10 : 9.

Hence, B's share = Tk.(21600 x10/54)

= Tk. 4000.
