P, Q, R starts a business with capital in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 and their investment time periods is in the ratio 3 : 2 : 1. The ratio of their profits is: |
1 : 2 : 3 3 : 2 : 1 3 : 4 : 3 1 : 1 : 1 |
3 : 4 : 3 |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 3 : 4 : 3 $\text{Profit} \propto \text{Capital} \times \text{Time}$ $P: 1 \times 3 = 3$ $Q: 2 \times 2 = 4$ $R: 3 \times 1 = 3$ $\text{Ratio} = 3 : 4 : 3$ $\text{Profit ratio} = 3:4:3$ |
