Question:

Rakesh, Amit and Suresh started a business. Rakesh invested $\frac{1}{2}$ part, Amit $\frac{1}{3}$ part and rest of the capital was invested by Suresh. The ratio of their profits will be :

Options:

2 : 3 : 1

3 : 2 : 1

2 : 3 : 6

6 : 3 : 2

Correct Answer:

3 : 2 : 1

Explanation:

Rakesh, Amit and Suresh started a business. Rakesh invested 1/2 part, Amit 1/3 part and rest of the capital was invested by Suresh.

Remaining part = 1-(1/2 + 1/3) = 1- [(3-2)/6] = 5/6

Share of their profits = 1/2 : 1/3 : 5/6 = 3:2:1

The correct answer is option (2) : 3 : 2 : 1
