A, B and C invest in a business in the ratio 4 : 5 : 7. C is a sleeping partner, so his share of profits will be half of what it would have been if he were a working partner. If they make Rs 36,000 profit of which 25% is reinvested in the business, how much does B get (in Rs)?

Explanation:

We analyze the question as follows :
The initial ratio is :
4 : 5 : 7
Since c is lazy he only gets half of what he was supposed to get.
Now half of 7 is = 3.5
The new ratio will be :4 : 5 : 3. 5
The sum of the ratios will be :
4 + 5 + 3.5 = 12.5
The share of B will be :
They reserve 25% for reinvestment so the amount shared will be :
75/100 × 36000 = 27000
B's share will be :
5/12.5 × 27000 = 10800
The share of b is therefore Rs 10800.
