Options:

1 : 2 : 3

9 : 8 : 7

3 : 4 : 5 

1 : 16 : 24

Correct Answer:

1 : 16 : 24

Explanation:

Let the capital = 8R and the time ratio = 8

                 A     :     B      :       C

Capital :     1     :     4      :       3

Time    :     1     :     4     :       8

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

Profit   :     1      :   16     :      24                      (Profit ratio = capital × time)
