    Initially, "A" invested 25% more funds than "B", while "C" contributed 20% more than "A". Four months after the business commenced, "A" increased his investment by 40%, and "B" reduced his by 25%. Six months into the operation, "C" decreased his contribution by 16(1/6)%.Calculate the ratio of their profit shares at the end of one year.
    A 12:7:10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 41:28:35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 19:15:18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 38:20:33 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the initial investment of 'B' be Rs. '4a' So, investment of 'A' = 1.25 X 4a = Rs.'5a' And, investment of 'C' = Rs. 5a X (6/5) = Rs. '6a' So, ratio of profit of 'A', 'B' and 'C', respectively, at the end of a year: = [{(5a X 4) + (7a X 8) }: {(4a X 4) + (3a X 8) }: {(6a X 6) + (5a X 6) }] = (20a + 56a) : (16a + 24a) : (36a + 30a) = (76:40:66) = (38:20:33)
