    Question

    Three partners invested in a business in the ratio 6:7:9. They invested their capitals for 7 months, 3 months and 9 months, respectively. What was the ratio of their profits?

    A.

    15:7:27

    B.

    13:7:27

    C.

    14:7:27

    D.

    17:7:27

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Investment ratios of partners = 6 : 7 : 9

    Time of investment = 7 months, 3 months, 9 months

    Formula Used:

    Profit Share ∝ (Capital Invested) × (Time)

    Solution:

    Partner A: 6 × 7 = 42

    Partner B: 7 × 3 = 21

    Partner C: 9 × 9 = 81

    So, Profit ratio = 42 : 21 : 81 = 14 : 7 : 27
