Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 9 : 6 : 7 Given: The ratio of investment of A, B, and C is 5 ∶ 7 ∶ 4 The timing ratio of A, B, and C is x ∶ y ∶ z The profits distribution ratio is 45 ∶ 42 ∶ 28 Concept used: Profits distributed in the ratio of investment × time Calculation: A B C Investment 5 7 4 Time x y z ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Profits Distribution 45 42 28 ⇒ 5x = 45 ; 7y = 42 ; 4z = 28 ⇒ x = 9 ; y = 6 ; z = 7 ∴ x ∶ y ∶ z = 9 ∶ 6 ∶ 7 |
