Solution : Given: A, B and C started a business with initial investments of INR 20,000, INR 25,000, and INR 10,000, respectively.
A | B | C | |
Capital invested | $(20000\times5)+(24000\times 7)$ | $(25000\times4)+(17000\times 8)$ | $(10000\times6)+(18000\times 6)$ |
Total | INR 2,68,000 | INR 2,36,000 | INR 1,68,000 |
The ratio they will share the profits = A : B : C = 268 : 236 : 168 = 67 : 59 : 42
Hence, the correct answer is 67 : 59 : 42.
