Three partners shared the profit in a business in the ratio of 10 : 12 : 13 . They invested the capital for 2 months, 6 months, and 5 months. What was the ratio of their capitals? |
3 : 4 : 9 7 : 15 : 6 15 : 6 : 13 6 : 15 : 13 |
15 : 6 : 13 |
Profit = Investment × time I : II : III Time ⇒ 2 : 6 : 3 Profit ⇒ 10 : 12 : 13 ---------------------------------------- Inv. ⇒ \(\frac{10}{2}\) : \(\frac{12}{6}\) : \(\frac{13}{3}\) = 5 : 2 : \(\frac{13}{3}\) = 15 : 6 : 13 [*Inv. Ratio = \(\frac{Profit\;ratio}{Time.\;ratio}\)] |
