Correct Answer: 8 : 9 : 12
Solution : We know that, profit = investment × time So, investment = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Time}}$ Now, the ratio of their profit = 4 : 3 : 14 and the ratio of their time periods = 3 : 2 : 7 Therefore, the ratio of their investment = $\frac{4}{3}:\frac{3}{2}:\frac{14}{7}$ = 8 : 9 : 12 Hence, the correct answer is 8 : 9 : 12.
