Q.A, B, and C started a joint business. A's invested amount is 3 times that of B, and C invested \(\frac{2}{3}\) of what B invested. What will be the ratio of the capital contributions of A, B, and C? (a) 6:2:3 (b) 2:6:3 (c) 3:6:2 (d) 6:3:2
Answer: A
\(A = 3B\) Or, \(\cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{3}{1}\) Or, \(A : B = 3 : 1\) Again, \(B = C \times \cfrac{2}{3}\) Or, \(\cfrac{B}{C} = \cfrac{2}{3}\) Or, \(B : C = 2 : 3\) Now, \(A : B = 3 : 1 = 6 : 2\) And, \(B : C = 2 : 3\) ∴ \(A : B : C = 6 : 2 : 3\)
