A and B started a partnership business investing some amount in the ratio of 3 : 5. C joined then after six months with an amount equal to that of B. In what proportion should the profit at the end of one year be distributed among A, B and C?

a) 6 : 10 : 5
b) 3 : 5 : 2
c) 3 : 5 : 5
d) Data inadequate

Answer: a
Explanation:
Let initial investment of A is 3x and B is 5x, then C investment is also 5x
A invested for 12 months, B invested for 12 months and C invested for 6 months.

A : B : C = (3x x 12) : (5x x 12) : (5x x 6)
= 36 : 60 : 30
= 6 : 10 : 5
