Solution:

(3) 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} ( {7}/{30}× 15420 )

=

Rs. 3598
Anil’s share

= {Rs} .( {10}/{30} × 15420 )

= Rs. 5140
Jamil’s share

= {Rs.} ( {13}/{30} ×15420 )

= {Rs} .6682

Ratio after respective increase in each share
= (3598 + 22 + 16) : (5140 + 35 + 77) : (6682 + 48 + 37)
= 3636 : 5252 : 6767
= 36 : 52 : 67
