A, B and C did certain investments and the ratio of their time periods is 3 : 2 : 7 respectively. Ratio of the profits of A, B and C is 4 : 3 : 14 respectively. What is the ratio of the investments of A, B and C?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 8:9:12
Given that
A, B, and C made certain investments and the ratio of their time periods is 3: 2: 7
The ratio of the profits of A, B, and C is 4 : 3: 14 respectively
A, B, and C made certain investments = The ratio of the profits of A, B, and C / the ratio of their time periods
A, B, and C made certain investments = (4/3) : (3/2) : (14/7) = 8 : 9 : 12
