- 9 :13 : 17
- 18 : 26 : 35
- 36 : 52 : 67
- None of these
Correct Option: C
According to the question,
Amount to be distributed in the ratio 7 : 10 : 13
= Rs. (15525 – 22 – 35 – 45)
= Rs. 15420
Sum of the terms of ratio
= 7 + 10 + 13 = 30
| Sunil’s share = Rs. |  | × 15420 |  | = Rs. 3598 | |
| 30 |
| Anil’s share = Rs. | | × 15420 | | = Rs. 5140 | |
| 30 |
| Jamil’s share = Rs. | | × 15420 | | = Rs. 6682 | |
| 30 |
Ratio after respective increase in each share
= (3598 + 22 + 16) : (5140 + 35 + 77) : (6682 + 48 + 37)
= 3636 : 5252 : 6767
= 36 : 52 : 67
