Profits of a business are distributed among three partners A, B and C in such a way that 4 times the amount received by A is equal to 6 times the amount received by B and 11 times the amount received by C. The ratio in which the three received the amount is
Given that 4 times the amount received by A is equal to 6 times the amount received by B and 11 times the amount received by C.
This can be written as,
4A = 6B or A : B = 3 : 2 ....(1) and
4A = 11C or A : C = 11 : 4 ....(2)
Multiply equation (1) with 11 and equation (2) with 3 we get,
A :B = 33 : 22 and A : C = 33 : 12 (or)
A : B : C = 33 : 22 : 12 (or) 66 : 44 : 24
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
