Question

• A. $3:5:2$
• B. $3:5:5$
• C. $6:10:5$
• D. Data inadequate

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The correct option is C $6:10:5$
Let the initial investments of $A$ and $B$ be $3x$ and $5x$.

So the investment of $C$ is also $5x$

So the ratio of profits distributed among them is given by,
$A:B:C=(3x\times 12):(5x\times 12):(5x\times 6)$
$A:B:C=36:60:30$
$A:B:C=6:10:5$
