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
