A , B and C invested in such a way that, A invested \(\frac{3}{7}\) of the total and B invested \(\frac{1}{6}\) of the total. Find their profit ratio.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let total capital= 42 ( LCM of 7 & 6 )
A B C
42 × \(\frac{3}{7}\) = 18 42 × \(\frac{1}{6}\) = 7 42 - (18+7) = 17 ( profit of C )
Ratio of the profit = 18 : 7 : 17
[*Profit ratio is same when time is constant for each partner]
