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)
