Question:

Ram, Shyam, and Geeta invested in such a way that, Ram invested \(\frac{2}{5}\)th of the total and Shyam invested \(\frac{3}{8}\)th of the total. Find their profit ratio.

Options:

16:15:9

16:15:31

2:3:5

15:16:9

Correct Answer:

16:15:9

Explanation:

Let total = 40

Ram                     Shyam                      Geeta

40 × \(\frac{2}{5}\) = 16      40 × \(\frac{3}{8}\) = 15     40 - (16+15) = 9

Ratio of the profit = 16:15: 9
