    Question

    'A', 'B' and 'C' started a business such that the sum

    invested by 'B' is (1/4)th of the total sum invested by all of them together and (1/2) of the sum invested by 'A'. If 'A', 'B' and 'C' invested their sums for 9 months, 6 months and 3 months, respectively, then find the ratio of profits received by 'A', 'B' and 'C' respectively.
    A 6:2:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6:3:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4:2:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3:2:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total sum invested by 'A', 'B' and 'C' together be Rs. ‘4x’ Therefore, sum invested by ‘B’ = (4x/4) = Rs. ‘x’ Sum invested by ‘A’ = 2 × x = Rs. ‘2x’ Sum invested by ‘C’ = 4x – (2x + x) = Rs. ‘x’ Required ratio = (2x × 9):(x × 6):(x × 3)
    = 18x : 6x : 3x
    = 6 : 2 : 1
