A, B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio 72:43:65. After 4 months, A increases his share 50%. If the total profit at the end of one year be Rs. 43,200, then B's share in the profit is:
Explanation:
Ratio of initial investments = 72:43:65 = 105 : 40 : 36.
Let the initial investments be 105x, 40x and 36x.
∴ Ratio of profits of A : B : C = (105x × 4 +150100 × 105x × 8) : (40x × 12) : (36x × 12) = 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9.
Hence, B's share = Rs. (43,200 × 10/54) = Rs. 8000.
Hence, option (d).
