Three partners shared the profit in a business in the proportion of 9 : 8 :11. They invested their capitals for 4 months, 6 months and 18 months, respectively. What was the ratio of their capitals?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Investment x Time Period = Profit
Investment = \(\frac{Profit}{Time\; Period}\)
I : II : III
Profit 9 : 8 : 11
Time Period 4 : 6 : 18 = 2 : 3 : 9
________________________
Investment \(\frac{9}{2}\) : \(\frac{8}{3}\) : \(\frac{11}{9}\)
243 : 144 : 66 = 81 : 48 : 22
