    Let investment of R = N
    Then, investment of Q = 2N/3
    and investment of P = 2N

    ∴ Ratio of capitals of P, Q and R = 2N : (2N/3) : N

    Correct Option: C

    Let investment of R = N
    Then, investment of Q = 2N/3
    and investment of P = 2N

    ∴ Ratio of capitals of P, Q and R = 2N : (2N/3) : N
    = 6N : 2N : 3N = 6 : 2 : 3

    A's share : B's share
    = Ratio of products of investment and time period of investment
    = (4000 x 12) : 16000 x (12 - 3)

    Correct Option: A

    A's share : B's share
    = Ratio of products of investment and time period of investment
    = (4000 x 12) : 16000 x (12 - 3)
    = 4 x 12 : 16 x 9
    = 1 : 3

    Note Here, the partnership is compound, in which A invested for 1 yr or 12 month and B invested 3 months later. it does mean B invested for (12 - 3) months.

    Correct Option: C

    A's share : B's share
    = 900 x 12 : 45000 x (12 - 6)
    = 12 : 5 x 6 = 2 : 5

    Total investment = (100/15) x 45000 = ₹ 300000
    ∵ Investment of Avinash : Investment of Manoj : investment of Arun = 3 : 2 : 5

    Correct Option: A

    Total investment = (100/15) x 45000 = ₹ 300000
    ∵ Investment of Avinash : Investment of Manoj : investment of Arun = 3 : 2 : 5
    ∴ Investment of Manoj = (2/10) x 300000 = ₹ 60000
