A, B and C started a business with investment in the ratio 5 : 6 : 8 respectively. After one year C withdrew 50% of his capital and A increased his capitalby 60% of his investment. After two years in what ratio should the earned profit be distributed among A, B and C respectively ?
A2 : 3 : 3
B4 : 3 : 2
C13 : 12 : 12
DCannot be determined

Answer is : 13 : 12 : 12

Explanation :

Total equivalent capital of A = 5x × 12 + 8x × 12 = Rs. 156x

Total equivalent capital of B for 1 month= 6x × 24 = Rs. 144x

Total equivalent capital of C = 8x × 12 + 4x × 12 = Rs. 144x

Required ratio = A : B : C

= 156x : 144x : 144x

= 13 : 12 : 12
