    'A', 'B', and 'C' started a business with initial

    investments of Rs. 5,000, Rs. 8,000, and Rs. 9,000, respectively. The investment durations were 8 months for 'A', 10 months for 'B', and 12 months for 'C'. Determine the ratio of the combined profit shares of 'A' and 'B' to the profit share of 'C'.
    A 11:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of profit shares of 'A', 'B' and 'C' = (5000 X 8):(8000 X 10):(9000 X 12)= 40000:80000:108000 = 10:20:27So, required ratio = (10 + 20):(27) = 10:9
