At the end of 12 months, in what ratio will the profit be divided?

    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Let Praveen's capital is C1 = 50 for period T1= 4 months, and C11= 25 for period T11= 8
    Sunny's capital is C2 = 45 for period T2 = 6 months, and C22 = 45/2 for period T22= 6 months.
    Ashu Bhati's capital is C3 = 70 for period T3 = 6 months.

    Now, apply the profit ratio formula:

    (C1 * T1): (C2 * T2): (C3 * T3) = p1: p2: p3
    But here we have 2 different values for Praveen and Sunny.
    So, (C1 * T1 + C11 * T11): (C2 * T2 + C22 * T22): (C3 * T3) = p1: p2: p3
    Now, (50*4 + 25*8): (45*6 + (45*2)/6): (70*6) = p1: p2: p3
    The ratio of their profit is p1: p2: p3 = 400: 405: 420
    Divide all ratios by 25.
    Hence, the ratio will be 80: 81: 84
