Question
P, Q and R together started a business. Two times the
investment of P equals three times the investment of Q and the capital of Q is twice that of R. Find the ratio of share of each in the profit.Solution
According to the question, => 2P = 3Q => P : Q = 3:2 Q’s capital is twice R’s capital. => Q/R = 2/1 => Q : R = 2 : 1 P : Q : R = 3 × 2 : 2 × 2 : 2 × 1 = 3:2:1
