Solution : Total sum = Rs.15525 Distributed sum = 15525 – 22 – 35 – 48 = Rs.15420 The ratio of remaining share = 7 : 10 : 13 New share of Sunil = ($\frac{7}{7+10+13}$ × 15420) + 22 + 16 = ($\frac{7}{30}$ × 15420) + 22 + 16 = Rs. 3636 New share of Anil = ($\frac{10}{7+10+13}$ × 15420) + 35 + 77 = ($\frac{10}{30}$ × 15420) + 35 + 77 = Rs. 5252 New share of Jamil = ($\frac{13}{7+10+13}$ × 15420) + 48 + 37 = ($\frac{13}{30}$ × 15420) + 48 + 37 = Rs. 6767 So, the new ratio = 3636 : 5252 : 6767 = 36 : 52 : 67 Hence, the correct answer is 36 : 52 : 67.
