Correct Answer: 3 : 4 : 5


Solution : Raman's share = $\frac{1}{4}$
Rohit's share = $\frac{1}{3}$
Raja's share = $1-(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{3})=\frac{5}{12}$
Share of Raman : Rohit : Raja = $\frac{1}{4}$ : $\frac{1}{3}$ : $\frac{5}{12}$
LCM of 4, 3, and 12 is 12.
Multiplying by 12 in all fractions, we get,
Share of Raman : Rohit : Raja = 3 : 4 : 5
Since the ratio of profit is equal to the ratio of investment for equal time, the share of profit of Raman : Rohit : Raja = 3 : 4 : 5
Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 4 : 5.
