A, B and C invested capital in the ratio 5 : 7 : 4, the timing of their investments being in the ratio x : y : z. If their profits are distributed in the ratio 45 : 42 : 28, then x : y : z =?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 9 : 6 : 7.
We know that
Profit share = Investment × Time period.
45 : 42 : 28 = 5 × x : 7 × y : 4 × z
On comparing we get,
x = 9, y = 6 and z = 7
x : y : z = 9 : 6 : 7.
