    B 6 : 7 : 11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9 : 8 : 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6 : 5 : 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the investments amounts of P, Q and R be 5x, 4x and 10x Amount after 1 year for P = 5x(1.2) = 6x Amount after 1 year for Q = 4x(1.25) = 5x Amount after 1 year for R = 10x(1.1) = 11x ∴ Ratio of amounts after 1 year of P, Q and R = 6 : 5 : 11
