Hello,

The ratio of Profit is, 5 : 9 : 14

So, P1 : P2 : P3 = 5 : 9 : 14

Also, ratio of investments is 5 : 6 : 7

So, X1 : X2 : X3 = 5 : 6 : 7

Now, we have to find the ratio of their period of investments.

So, T1 : T2 : T3 = P1/X1 : P2/X2 : P3/X3

So, T1 : T2 : T3 = 5/5 : 9/6 : 14/7

So, T1 : T2 : T3 = 1 : 1.5 : 2

Or T1 : T2 : T3 = 2 : 3 : 4

So, the ratio of period of investments is 2 : 3 : 4

Best Wishes.
