    Question

    A, B and C enter a partnership with initial investments in the ratio 115:72:158\frac{11}{5}:\frac{7}{2}:\frac{15}{8}​. After 4 months A raises her share of investment by 62.5%. If the total profit after 12 months since the beginning of the partnership is Rs. 138584, then how much (in Rs.) does A get as her share of profit?

    A.

    50874

    B.

    50864

    C.

    50844

    D.

    50884

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Initial investment ratio of A, B, and C = 115:72:158.\frac{11}{5} : \frac{7}{2} : \frac{15}{8}.​​
    A raises her share of investment by 62.5% after 4 months.
    Total profit after 12 months = ₹138,584.
    Formula Used:

    Profit = Investment ×\times Time

    A’s profit = Total ProfitTotal effective capital×A’s effective capital\frac{\text{Total Profit}}{\text{Total effective capital}} \times \text{A’s effective capital}​​

    Solution:

    LCM (5,2,8) = 40              

    A's share = (88 ×\times 4) + (143 ×\times 8)

    = 352 + 1144 = 1496

    B's share = 12 ×\times 140 = 1680

    C's share = 12 ×\times 75 = 900

    Total share = 1496 + 1680 + 900 = 4076

    A's share of profit = 1385844076×1496\frac{138584}{4076} \times 1496 =  Rs. 50864

    So, A's share of the total profit is ₹50,864

    Thus, the correct option is (b)
