Solution

The correct option is A 2 : 5 : 3
Ratio of capitals of A, B and C is 3:5:9. Let the capitals of A, B and C be 3x, 5x and 9x, respectively.
Ratio of timing of their investments are 2:3:1. Let, A, B and C invest their capitals for 2y, 3y and y months, respectively.
Then, profit of A : profit of B : profit of C
=C1×t1:C2×t2:C3×t3
=3x×2y:5x×3y:9x×y
=6:15:9 or 2:5:3
