Q:

A,B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio $\frac{7}{2} : \frac{4}{3} : \frac{6}{5}$ . After 4 months, A increases his share by 50%. If the total profit at the end of one year be Rs. 21600, then B's share in the profit is :

A) Rs. 4000	B) Rs. 6000
C) Rs. 9000	D) Rs. 3000

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 4000

Explanation:

Given ratio of initial investments = $\frac{7}{2} : \frac{4}{3} : \frac{6}{5}$ = 105 : 40 : 36.

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

$∴ A : B : C = (105 x \times 4 + \frac{150}{100} \times 105 x \times 8) : (40 x \times 12) : (36 x \times 12)$

= 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9.

Hence, B's share = $(21600 \times \frac{10}{54})$ = Rs. 4000.

So, here Quart and Ounce are also units of measurement where Quart is larger than Ounce i.e, 1 Quart = 32 Ounces.

Gallon is not correct because Gallon is larger than Quart and Milk and Liquid are not units of measurement.

So, Ounce is correct.
