A, B and C invested capitals in the ratio of 4 : 6 : 9. At the end of the business term, they received the profit in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5. Find the ratio of their time for which they contributed their capitals.
-
- 1 : 1 : 9
- 2 : 2 : 9
- 10 : 10 : 9
- 9 : 9 : 10
Correct Option: D
Here, P1 : P2 : P3 = 2 : 3 : 5 [profit's ratio]
and x1 : x2 : x3 = 4 : 6 : 9 [investment's ratio]
According to the rule,
Required ratio = P1/x1 : P2/x2 : P3/x3
= 2/4 : 3/6 : 5/9
= 1/2 : 1/2 : 5/9 = 9 : 9 : 10
