A invest \(\frac{2}{5}\)th of the capital for \(\frac{2}{5}\)th of the time, B invest \(\frac{1}{5}\)th of the capital for \(\frac{1}{5}\)th of the time and C invest rest of the capital for whole the time. Find profit sharing ratio.

Options:

2 : 3 : 5

5 : 4 : 1

4 : 1 : 10

10 : 1 : 4

Correct Answer:

4 : 1 : 10

Explanation:

Let the capital = 5R and the time ratio = 5

                 A     :     B      :       C

Capital :     2     :     1      :       2

Time    :     2     :     1     :       5

------------------------------------------------   

Profit   :     4      :   1      :      10                      (Profit ratio = capital × time)
