Three partners shared the profit in a business in the ratio of 9 : 8 : 11. They invested the capital for 4 months, 6 months, and 18 months. What was the ratio of their capitals?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Profit = Investment × time
I : II : III
Time ⇒ 4 : 6 : 18
Profit ⇒ 9 : 8 : 11
----------------------------------------
Inv. ⇒ \(\frac{9}{4}\) : \(\frac{8}{6}\) : \(\frac{11}{18}\)
= \(\frac{81\;:\;48\;:\;22}{36}\) = 81 : 48 : 22
