Correct answer is: 6:10:5
Explanation:
Let initial investment of A is 3x and B is 5x, then C investment is also 5x, but most important to note in this question is the time duration of investment
Like, A invested for 12 months, B invested for 12 months and C invested for 6 months.
\(A:B:C =(3x\times12):(5x\times12):(5x\times6)\)
\(= 36:60:30\)
\(= 6:10:5\)
